The Anchorage earthquake was bigger at 9.2. 8.3 is still a massive quake. To be honest a 5.7 seems massive when your sitting on the epicenter. I know.

The Greatest Earthquake ever recorded in 1960 happened in Chile, South America. This earthquake was the largest ever instrumentally recorded. It measured a 9.5 on the Moment Magnitude (Mw) scale, but registered only an 8.5 on the Ms scale.
