Westwood Earthquake: Fodder for Social Media as Angelenos Find Humor

No one got hurt, so why not laugh? Shamrock Shake indeed.

Now that we know there have been no serious injuries or damage from this morning's earthquake, we take a moment to gauge reaction via social media.

First, you have the celebrities reacting. Some are chill, because, you know, they live here. Other transplants weren't so calm under pressure.

Says Nicki Minaj: "That was the scariest earthquake this lil New York girl ever experienced in Cali. Unbelievable this time."

Here are a few of our favorites:

Jimmy Kimmel: "here's how it goes now..."oh my God, earthquake...where's my phone? I have to tweet!"

Zach Braff: "Dearest @Harry_Styles are you in LA? Is your hair ok? #earthquake"

Tyler Oakley: "If your favorite LA YouTuber didn't tweet about the #earthquake, I think it's safe to assume they're dead, or even worse, don't have wifi."
