Reference #414:

1901, September 10 (or October), 8:30 [local time]. There was a strong earthquake in the eastern part of Tayabas Province, which was accompanied by an underground rumble. The church at Calauag was damaged and structures were damaged in the cities on the eastern shore of Lamon Bay, in the northeastern part of which the source was presumably located. Yawning cracks were formed on the coast, and the water became very turbid; dead fish were also found. The dimensions of the area of perceptibility were 300 x 180 km. The earthquake was preceded by a four degree foreshock at 7:40 with an area of perceptibility of 200 x 120 km and was accompanied by several weak aftershocks. [A possible cause of the water becoming turbid may be a tsunami; there are no direct indications of the appearance of waves.]
