Great Alaskan Earthquake Survivor -
"It was the most terrifying day of my life." Mary
My name is Mary Jane Dougherty and this is my story. The story of how my brother Norman and I survived the 1964 Alaska earthquake.
When the "Great Alaskan Earthquake" struck, my brother and I were in JC Penny's in downtown Anchorage.
Moments later we were running for our lives as the JC Penny building was collapsing all around us during one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded in North America.
This is my story of survival.
Yes, I'm an earthquake survivor, and this is my story of the amazing things I experienced and witnessed during that horrifying Good Friday earthquake. And it's yours free.
"The ground was rolling like waves on the ocean and we were breathing in all that choking dust."
"The noise of the earthquake sounded like the hardest wind imaginable. It was deafening."
Mary Jane Dougherty, author
