In the first photo at the wikipedia link, it appears that some white stuff has accumulated around the street edges and atop some cars.   Is it sand, salt, foam, or?

Listowner's Note: I made some changes to this anniversary last night.
Apparently when I reset the time of auto-post to more accurately reflect when it happened it was too late to go through on time.
Next year it should auto-post just fine.
In the meantime, below is what should have posted automatically at about 11:30 p.m. last night:

Title:   1964 Crescent City Tsunami
 
Date:   Wednesday March 27, 2013
Time:   11:30 pm - 12:00 am Pacific Time (US Canada)
Notes:   At about this time on this night in 1964 the first of four waves of the infamous Crescent City Tsunami rolled into the harbor. The fourth wave rampaged into town killing 12 people and injuring 100, while destroying 289 buildings, 25 large fishing vessels, and 1000 cars. 60 blocs of town were inundated with half of those being destroyed causing damage upwards of $15 million in those day's dollars.  
The tsunami was caused by a massive (moment magnitude 9.2, Richter 8.4) "Good Friday" earthquake centered in Girdwood (south of Anchorage) Alaska.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Friday_Earthquake
