NYC Just Had a Mini Earthquake, Here’s My Favorite Tweet

Our office just shook. It was a small yet scary quake for NY’ers as many of us don’t really know what to do during an earthquake. Well, we’re all fine. But I’m still rolling from some hilarious tweets. This is when Twitter is at its best. In times of slightly but not-at-all emergencies. New Yorkers are fucking hilarious.

Here are a few of my faves from the “Quake that Rocked NYC”

@shaun_harrison: Yall asking if theres really an earthquake are annoying me. Turn on CNN, Chaquita from the block shouldn’t be ur news

@Kevinrose The past 3 minutes have proved that humans have evolved a “fight or flight or tweet anxiously” instinct.

@PaulCantor the earthquake’s not even trending. In other words, it didn’t even happen.

@chrisgoldteeth Jaded New Yorkers vs Smug Ass Californians. Earthquake Battle Royale!

@FrankiScenes But this Earthquake better have came over here to fuck up the Sallie Mae building bc if not stay yo ass in LA

@atrak Let’s ask @JustBlaze RT @sexysexyaha: @atrak did Harlem shake too?

@vmagazine An earthquake hits NYC. Now playing ♫ Beyonce

@caspermartinez #CNN is smart to show vids of White people during earthquake. They look so polite exiting. Latinos/Morenos would push yo ass out the way

So there it is. In a (somewhat) state of emergency, protocol calls for tweeting.
