FIGURE 3.59
The building in the water was formerly on the shore about one-quarter mile up the lake. The
house was apparently jarred from its foundation by the earthquake and then washed into the lake by the seiche
generated during the Hebgen Lake earthquake in Montana on August 17, 1959. The house later drifted into
the earthquake-created harbor shown in the above photograph. (
