The strongest earthquake in Alaska in the month of March was the 1964 Alaska earthquake, also known as the Great Alaska earthquake. It occurred on March 27, 1964, with a magnitude of 9.2, making it the most powerful recorded earthquake in North American history and the second strongest worldwide.
The strongest point in an earthquake is the epicenter.
Some of the strongest earthquakes in the Caribbean include the 2010 Haiti earthquake measuring a magnitude of 7.0, the 1842 Cap-Haïtien earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 8.1, and the 1907 Kingston earthquake in Jamaica with a magnitude of 6.5-6.8.
Yes. However the preceding earthquakes (including the one that was originally the largest) are then downgraded or renamed as foreshocks and the new larger magnitude earthquake is termed the main shock.
The 7.1 magnitude Olympia earthquake in 1949 is the largest earthquake to occur in the Seattle region since records began.

No, the Haiti earthquake in 2010 was not the strongest earthquake ever recorded. The strongest earthquake ever recorded was the 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile, which had a magnitude of 9.5 on the Richter scale.

The strongest earthquake ever recorded occurred in Chile on May 22, 1960, with a magnitude of 9.5. Known as the Great Chilean Earthquake, it caused widespread devastation and triggered a massive tsunami that affected distant shores across the Pacific Ocean.

The strongest earthquake to date that was recorded is the Valdivia, Chile (May 22, 1960) earthquake (Great Chilean earthquake) with a on the moment scale magnitude of 9.5.
Alaska has had by far the most and biggest quakes. 9 and bigger. California and cascade zones probably come in second.
The strongest point of an earthquake is referred to as the earthquake's epicenter. This is the point on the Earth's surface directly above where the earthquake originates, known as the hypocenter. The magnitude of the earthquake is typically highest at the epicenter.
