The paper reported the signs of the earthquake on the Grand Banks that generated
the Burin tsunami. The first tremor was slight and noted at 5 pm. 7 minutes
later a second stronger tremor lasted 50 seconds. It sounded like a fast
speeding motor, rattled dishes and broke windows. Telephone poles swayed.
