HUDSON COUNTY — Some Hudson County residents were scared during today’s earthquake, reporting that their office buildings shook — but others just sent out quips via Twitter.
And local government agencies used Twitter to get the news out about the Holland Tunnel being closed and other information.
“At ease, Chicken Little…” Tweeted former Reporter columnist and Hoboken bartender Chris Halleron before 3 p.m.
Hobokenite Chris Manzo, star of the popular reality show Real Housewives of New Jersey, opined: “u know someone earlier today was like ‘ughhh god just give me a sign’ and now he/she wont shut up about it.”
But a half hour later, Manzo had this to say:
“over the earth quake, which is the new planking, which was the new royal wedding, which was the new rapture.”
“PATH is operating normally,” Tweeted the Port Authority.
Several people Tweeted that they couldn’t make phone calls for a few minutes after the quake.
One local resident said that when she was driving through downtown Hoboken, she saw people running out of buildings, and heard that some buildings were evacuated.
