Though it felt more like subtle city construction or an unpleasant stomach rumble, there was in fact a 4.1 magnitude earthquake centered near Dover, Delaware this evening. Leave it to Twitter and its witty users to weigh in with plenty of irony, overreaction, and snarky memes.

The earth just shook. Either:
1) Thor is finally here to make good on his offer to take me to that trash planet
2) I had massive bout of indigestion. (I did eat a lot of polystyrene this week.)
3) Some pent up underground rock energy was just released— Mr. Trash Wheel (@MrTrashWheel) November 30, 2017
Of course now I'm wondering if any of the vacants bit the dust. — Carol Ott ????️ (@CarolSOtt) November 30, 2017
In hindsight, I should’ve gotten underneath my desk ????????♂️. I’m just saying; we aren’t earthquake aficionados here in the east. #BaltimoreEarthquake — T.J. Smith (@TJSmithMedia) November 30, 2017
$5 if you tweet about something other than the earthquake. — Keiffer Mitchell (@KeifferMitchell) November 30, 2017
I didnt feel the earthquake, and I am disappointed that I cant take part in this shared experience — Justin Fenton (@justin_fenton) November 30, 2017
Baltimore is a place where you just assume a truck ran into your building or flipped over outside your door. Glad for once it was an earthquake. — Jed Weeks (@jedweeks) November 30, 2017
