With less wind over New England, the afternoon will not feel so cold. High pressure along the Carolina coast will allow some sunshine and a southerly flow of air. Farther west, a storm will affect the Central states. Showers and thunderstorms are in the offing from the middle part of the Mississippi Valley to Texas with the risk for severe weather from Missouri and Kansas to north-central Texas. Snow will fall from Minnesota to the Upper Penin- sula of Michigan.

Time stopped at the start of the '64 Great Alaska Earthquake, the second largest ever re - corded at magnitude 9.2. The ground shook for four to five minutes, roughly twice through "I Want to Hold Your Hand," the Bea - tles No. 1 song that year. With the U.S. and the USSR facing off in the Cold War, some thought the Russians had attacked. The quake produced a tsunami that wreaked havoc along the West Coast. Overall dam - age was estimated at $2.3 billion in 2014 dollars. The quake and resulting tsuna- mis killed 131 people. Though now a distant memory, it helped make ex- perts better prepared for fu- ture quakes. It played a role in the formation of the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center and taught the U.S. Geological Survey what evidence to look for of previous great quakes, such as events in the Cascadia Subduction Zone off Oregon and Washington. From his vantage point on the 12th floor of an apart - ment building in Anchorage, geologist William Binkley could feel the light tremor. He later told the USGS that it was then followed by min - utes of violent jarring in which the building appeared to sway 10 to 12 feet horizon- tally and 1-2 feet vertically. The sound was a deep rumble followed by shatter- ing plaster and glass. Cab- inets and the refrigerator crashed to the kitchen floor. It was "churned into a mé- lange of broken dishes and glass, catsup and syrup, flour, beans, pots and pans, eggs, lettuce and pickles," Binkley said in a paper reis - sued recently by the USGS for the anniversary of the quake. Binkley crawled into a hallway and braced his feet against one wall and his back against another until the shaking stopped. Landslides caused most of the damage in Anchorage, about 75 miles from the epi - center. Sections of the city, including a 14-block stretch in the shape of an oval near the city's main street, slid. Buildings were damaged, including some that fell into a trench created by the ground subsiding. Nine peo - ple died in the city. Geologists have a name for such strong earthquakes — megathrusts. Plate tectonic theory says the Earth's crust is made up of about a dozen major plates that rest on hot mantle. The thin, dense, Pacific Plate at Alaska's southern edge moves at a shallow angle be - neath the North American Plate at average rate of 2.3 inches per year and eventu- ally is reabsorbed by mantle. Strain builds up until there's a slip. The Moment Magnitude scale rates quakes by the en - ergy they release by calcu- lating the area of fault rup- ture, the average amount of slip, and the force required to overcome the friction sticking the rocks together, according to the USGS. Ev - ery whole number higher on the scale represents 30 times the energy of the previous number. More energ y was re - leased in the 1964 magnitude 9.2 quake than all other re- corded Alaska quakes com- bined, said USGS research geologist Peter Haeussler. And drilling showed evi- dence of nine such mega- thrusts in south-central Alaska in 5,500 years. The average time span between them: 600 years. The temblor caused two kinds of waves: local and trans-ocean tsunamis. Eighty-five of the 106 Alaska tsunami deaths were caused by waves generated by underwater landslides. Rivers flowing into Alaska ords build up huge deltas of unstable sediment on deep, underwater slopes, said USGS research geologist Rob Witter. Slides generate waves like a rock dropped in a pond. During local tsunamis, water can at first retreat from shore in response to the underwater slide, then rush back. That's what hap - pened at Port Valdez. When the water swept back in, it smashed a freighter into the city dock. Longshoremen and children who had as - sembled to catch oranges or candy tossed down from the crew were killed. Thirty-two people died. The great quake also rum - pled the ocean floor like a rug, creating a trans-ocean tsunami. The deadly waves traveled down the West Coast. Four campers on a beach died at Newport, Ore. tEmBlOR ANNivERsARy Great Alaska Earthquake rattled state 50 years ago AssociAted Press — U.s.
