As you can imagine, some celebs headed to social media to talk about the experience. We’re talking Ava DuVernay, The Rock, Gabrielle Union and LaToya Jackson among others
And speaking of LaToya, she says didn’t feel safe in her home, noting that the ceiling felt like it was going down.

Ava DuVernay thought it was the longest one she’s ever been through.
Been living in Los Angeles all my life. That was the longest earthquake I’ve ever experienced. Not jerky. Smooth and rolling. But it was loooong. It was so long I thought for the first time ever “Is this the big one?” Damn. Respect Mother Nature. She’s the boss.

And we have to say that even The Rock was moved. Literally.
6.6 is strong. We felt a lil’ movement here in the valley, but all good. Prayers to those in D valley, Bakersfield, S Valley, Kern etc. Be safe, stay prepared. #mothernature

And Gabrielle Union was in an…interesting place when the earthquake rolled through
The fact that I experienced that longass earthquake while on the toilet at the gym…and immediately blamed the celery juice, is about right. Lordt.
