A magnitude 4.2 earthquake shook the San Fernando Valley of California on Thursday morning (July 30), and celebrities from Kelly Clarkson to Lil Nas X felt the earth move in Los Angeles.
“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,” Clarkson tweeted. “I’m glad they’re more interested and curious about it and less scared. Hallelujah!”
Lil Nas X took a more humorous bow to the situation, sharing a fun clip from Sponge Bob Square PantsSquidward insisting, “You know I was kidding, right?” along with the caption, “God after creating that earthquake.”
Meanwhile, artists like JoJo and Marshmello offered more sardonic interpretations of the terrifying rumble in the Valley. “My preparation for an earthquake is the same as that of the US government for COVID-19. None,” the loud-voiced pop singer wrote, as the helmeted DJ tweeted, “If that # earthquake is a clue of what is to come in 2020, I am done. “
