The Quakings did Last for About the Space of Three Hours

Bryan Richards

Hugh Nibley

“…though the aftershocks, correctly described as the tremblings and groanings, continued for three days (3 Nephi 10:9), during which time the afflicted people carried on in hysterical fashion with frightful howling and lamentation. This too is a normal part of the picture, since ’the incessant recurrence of aftershocks after a great earthquake is most unnerving to the populace.’” (Since Cumorah, p. 235)
