The Best Of: New York Reacts to the 4.8 Magnitude Earthquake In the Most Classic New Yorker Way Possible, With Humor

• This morning the East Coast was hit with an earthquake, the brunt of it being felt in New Jersey with a 4.8 magnitude. If you have never been in an earthquake, it is actually extremely jarring and scary. But it hardly even lasted a minute, so it really just left most East Coasters confused. If you have been through earthquakes, like most West Coasters, then this just felt like a big truck passing by on the highway. 

  Being on the East Coast, New York felt it. And NYC being NYC, of course, had the best reactions possible—with top-notch classic New Yorker humor bursting with witty tweets and the most hilarious memes. The second Harlem stopped shaking (yes, we're making a ‘Harlem Shake’ joke) we went straight to the internet to see how our beautiful city reacted, and it did not disappoint. So we've gathered over 20 of our favorite reactions, from one New Yorker to another, we hope you enjoy!
