Rather than steal the links, I'm just going to link to this MeFi entry which talks about a January 1700 9.0 earthquake off the coast of now Oregon or Washington that wiped out a couple of villages in Japan.
Yet another reminder of how young our knowledge of the earth is, and how things in fast geologic time happen at longer than human scales.
