One of the most Earthquakes was on 1 November 1755, in Lisbon, Portugal. This city was in ruins and in flames.
The Lisbon earthquake struck in mid-morning during a high religious holiday, All Souls Day. Shortly afterward, three large tsunamis swept over the city's harbor and killed many thousands of refugees. A week later, after untamable fires and unremitting aftershocks, essentially the whole city of Lisbon was in ashes, its people scattered, and perhaps half of its population dead.
