Earthquake Shakes Los Angeles: Stars Talk Tremors on Twitter
Top o' the morning!
Well, not quite for the residents of Los Angeles, who received an early wake up call on St. Patrick's Day when a magnitude-4.4 earthquake rattled the sunny city around 7 a.m.
Naturally, the earthquake already has its own hashtag, #ShamrockShake, which is currently trending on Twitter (and is not in reference to the tasty, holiday-themed mint milkshake at McDonald's.)
The quake caused quite a fright and several celebs from Elizabeth Banks to Nicki Minaj to Ryan Seacrest took to Twitter to share their shock about the quake.
Unfortunately for Tinsletown, it doesn't look like the quake produced a pot of gold, but instead a couple of upset kids and a few new home repairs.
Ugh... Hate waking up that way -still shook

Earthquake! I leapt out bed to check on the kids. They slept right through it, and couldn't have cared less.

Earthquake woke me. Awaiting aftershocks. Electricity stayed on, so rolled with it. Imagine world w/o understanding of tectonic plates.

Finally got my first earthquake. Michael is guessing 5.3 on Andy Richter scale, but we are really not experts. His first guess was "demons"
