Here is a link for ALL tsunami (sp) damage caused by the Alaskan earthquake. It is facinating reading. what amazed me was the amout of time elapsed between the earthquake and the tsunamis. Crescent city was still feeling tidal fluctuations 24 hours after the quake. Follow the links on the bottom of the page.

I talked with an old gent who was there when it hit and he said it went in and out about 6 times or so and got progressively worse with each wave.
The people in the lighthouse saw the whole bottom of the ocean as the wave receded.
Weird & powerful stuff!!
