There was a certain cove in Alaska that had a tsunami wave travel up it during the 1964 quake, google it and tell everyone how far the water was pushed in height.
Three guesses, it was more than 10 feet, more than 50 feet, more than 100 feet.
I’ve seen that video on TV.
That was Valdez. The wave was 30-40 feet high. “Old” Valdez was pretty much wiped out. After the earthquake/tsunami damage, “new” Valdez was built in another location. When I lived there (in the 70s), there were still remnants of the damage at site of the destruction.
If that's the incident I'm thinking of a man and his son rode it out in a small boat. The wave was 1000 (?) ft. high. Measured by the scarified surrounding coastline.
Is that the one ? My memory correct?
If you are talking about the 1000+ foot wave in Lituya Bay, that was in 1958, not the 1964 quake.
