Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the 1964 Alaska earthquake generated a tsunami that killed people in Crescent City, California?

Yes. A reference article on the 1964 Alaska earthquake states that 13 people died from the tsunami in California, mostly in or near Crescent City, and separately that ten were killed by the tsunami in Crescent City itself. Other retrieved items confirm the 1964 tsunami struck and damaged Crescent City but do not address deaths there.
