A tsunami wave hit several locations in western Japan on January 27th 1700. There is no record of a corresponding earthquake
occurring near to Japan, or anywhere else around the Pacific Ocean
Based on the time for the wave to cross the ocean it is estimated that the quake struck at around 9 PM local time on January 26th,
1700.

According to Chief Louis, everyone living at Pachena Bay was killed in the tsunami. Anacla aq sop, who was living in Kiixin with Nookmiis, was the only surviving member of her people.
The current chief of the Huu ay aht, Spencer Peters, is a direct descendant of Chief Louis and of Nookmiis and Anacla aq sop.
