As is the custom, a prayer from a priest marks the opening the Cabinet meeting weekly. An earthquake shook the building as the prayer was being said; everyone stood still despite the shaking lasting approximately 20 seconds.

After the prayers, the Chairman of Cabinet, Prime Minister Browne, called on the relevant authority who noted that he experienced the mild earthquake and would communicate the details with the Cabinet as soon as they were available.

It was later learned that the earthquake measured 5.4 magnitude on the Richter scale, was 27.3 miles southeast of Antigua and Barbuda, at a depth of 6.2 miles. There was no report of damage.
