My colleague Becca Lower reported on the earthquake in the New York/New Jersey area earlier, and there was some pretty big shaking for an area that isn't used to it. My family members who live not far from the epicenter said that they really felt the rolling, which for people in New Jersey is very unusual. They're still having some aftershocks, but as Becca explained, no one was seriously hurt and there was no significant damage.

I wanted to note some of the funny and crazy takes from the day, since people weren't used to the experience of having an earthquake that they actually felt. 

I think we have to start off with the Yankees' Aaron Judge, who was asked if he felt the earthquake before Friday's game. He said he did, but then he had a good time trying to avoid the question of what he was doing when he felt it. 

Aaron Judge didn't want to say where he was during the earthquake this morning 😂

"That's definitely a no comment," someone said in his defense.  

"We good? We good?" Judge responded while laughing. 

PIX 11 speculated. 

Where were you when the earthquake hit?

Aaron Judge was in the Judge's Chambers…we think. He pleaded the fifth and wiped his hands of the situation 😂😂😂@MarcMalusis and @FiggieNY have their thoughts on where the Yankee Captain was. #RepBx pic.twitter.com/N5rdl4cXxm

The Empire State Building took it in the spirit of fun. 

I AM FINE

Some noted the significant damage. 

I just photos of the destruction out in Long Island.

That last one looks like any other day in NYC. 

Some had fun combining Chris Christie and earthquake memes, including former NJ state Sen. Loretta Weinberg.

But as for the funniest worst take, it may be a tight race between Green Party U.S. Senate candidate Christina Amira Khalil and an Emmy-winning NBC reporter, Linda Guadino. 

Can climate change play a role in the frequency of earthquakes?

The quake in New Jersey today was magnitude 4.8. So far, there have only been 13 quakes in the area that were deemed "damaging" by the National Earthquake Information Center. @NBCNewYork https://t.co/lBytwirIPN

Khalil earned a blunt Community Note that it was about the fault line, not the climate. 

I experienced my first earthquake in NJ. We never get earthquakes. The climate crisis is real.

The weirdest experience ever.

NJ has experienced earthquakes, but usually smaller ones that you don't really feel. 

We wanted to understand what caused today’s earthquake in New York City. So we talked to three unvaccinated Trump Media investors at a Chick-fil-A in Staten Island.

Then there was this coincidence that many noted. 

A Trump earthquake shaking NYC is probably the greatest foreshadowing we’ve ever seen https://t.co/SzHkWXFWCJ
