LOL. You were fortunate.

I was in Yellowstone in 66 the week after the Hebgen fault rupture. My dad was staying on the Hebgen reservoir the week earlier. Downstream, Quake Lake was the outcome... and lives were lost. Lots of first hand stories... the woman who owned the fishing cabins that dad stayed in was rescued by her poodle, who drug her 100 yards to land after her cabins sunk under the lake due to the fault scarf. Some campers a few miles away were killed by boulders rolling over their tent. Drivers were drowned when the road down the canyon was inundated by the lake. I remember the “Mission 66” signs posted in Yellowstone. One of the editorial cartoons of the time showed one of these signs hanging upside down in front of the wreckage... mission 99.
