If you were in the Los Angeles area early this morning, we probably know what you were doing: getting out of bed and wondering what was going on.
A magnitude 4.2 earthquake shook Los Angeles at 4:29 am, felt most strongly at the San Fernando epicenter. The earthquake spread throughout the LA Basin area, as well as Orange County. No damage or deaths have been reported, but the smallest aftershocks followed the initial earthquake.
And even more aftershocks spread over Twitter. Here is a sample of how celebrities (and some civilians) reacted:
Oh man !! Wow, that felt much bigger than a 4.5 # earthquake. So scary! Slippers and my flashlight next to my bed 🙏🏽🙏🏽

My preparation for an earthquake is the same as that of the US government for COVID-19. None.

My children are in my arms and we are awake too early due to that earthquake, but now they are discussing how their ninja skills would totally help right now 🤣💁🏼♀️ I am happy that they are more interested and curious about and less scared. Hallelujah! https://t.co/MHm925Ezd6

I just realized that my “earthquake kit” is a Doritos bag and a snow boot.
