When I originally added the BC info, I noted wave times and sizes. The current version only mentions the size of the wave in Prince Rupert. It suggests that the same tsunami moved along to Tofino (which is 512 km away) and then went up the Alberni Canal twice. I am not a geoscientist, but I believe that these were separate waves, caused by the same tsunami. The wave sizes and times may also indicate this. Is it correct to say the tsunami struck twice, when we're really referring to a series or the wave train? It's fine if the text is reworded, but I think the current wording is a bit confusing or even misleading. Noting times and wave sizes also helps to show the great distance that tsunami covers in a short time without significant energy loss.-- Westendgirl 08:16, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I did some not-entirely-obvious calculations to express the property damages in modern dollars. I used this calculator to convert 1964 USD to 2005 USD. I used this calculator to convert 1964 CAD to 2005 CAD. However, to obtain the USD amount for the Canadian damage correctly, I had to convert 1964 CAD to 1964 USD, then 1964 USD to 2005 USD. The former required a historic exchange rate chart listing the rate at 1.0786 CAD per USD in 1964. This means $10M CAD was about $9.2M USD in 1964, which I then used the USD inflation calculator on.

That must've been HUGE! Chile is in South America, now!
Apparently I was an "accidental vandal" from work. I'm a newbie to commenting on articles, and did not realize my edit would be propagated as part of the main article itself. I apologize to the moderators of Wikipedia and to any users annoyed by the apparent disrespect. But, um, seriously... Ya gotta quit wording this to make it sound like you're scoring Chile as a North American earthquake. Also, the tally of the dead adds to 130, not 115.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.143.31.101 ( talk) 05:13, November 10, 2006 (UTC)
It seems that both this and the Indian Ocean '04 event are the "second largest ever recorded on a seismograph". How is this possible?— Preceding unsigned comment added by DJbhindi ( talk • contribs) 23:24, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure if this belongs here or in its own section... 98.251.151.63 ( talk) 20:47, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
Were there really no deaths outside of America and Canada? LeapUK ( talk) 09:16, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Can someone please put something in the article saying the max intensity of the earthquake by city? How strong was it in Anchorage? Kenai? Even Whitehorse? Alex of Canada ( talk) 00:21, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
