If you live in the northeastern United States, you probably received a slew of text messages frantically asking if you “FELT THE EARTHQUAKE” the morning of Thursday, April 5. Although the tremors, clocking in at 4.8 on the Richter scale, received sprawling media coverage, students at the University of Connecticut may not have felt what all the hype was about. 

This week, we ask writers in the Opinion section to write a headline that accurately describes the New Jersey earthquake. 

 
Nell Srinath, Opinion Editor: BREAKING: GOP finds another natural disaster to blame on gay people. 

Dan Stark, Associate Opinion Editor: Angry New Yorkers freak out over absolutely nothing yet again. 

Luke Feeney, Weekly Columnist: New Jersey: Epicenter for the End of the World according to Mayor Adams. 

Tomas Hinckley, Weekly Columnist: Wokeness has gotten rid of real earthquakes, New York City libs too “sensitive” to handle 4.8 magnitude because gender.
