Americans in New York and New Jersey areas were sent scrambling this morning as the area was hit with an earthquake.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, Whitehouse Station in New Jersey was hit by an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.8 at roughly 10:28 am Eastern Time. The rumble was felt by the surrounding areas in Jersey and New York as well, including in Manhattan, where the taping for today’s episode of ESPN’s ‘First Take’ was underway.

The crew appeared to be on a break at the time, but the cameras were still rolling. And they caught the startled reaction from First Take co-host Molly Qerim, who could be seen holding onto her desk while giving a troubled look to those around her.

That look on her face says it all.

Thankfully, no one was hurt. And it appears as though Qerim was able to make light of the incident based on her willingness to post the video of her reaction.

Molly Qerim Was Making Headlines This Week

Today’s earthquake reaction isn’t the first time Molly has caused some buzz this week. Just yesterday, while talking about the women’s Final Four, she made a comment about Iowa star Caitlin Clark that appeared to rub a few people the wrong way.

Specifically, Qerim claims that if UConn’s Paige Bueckers hadn’t been injured throughout most of her college career, everyone would be talking about her instead of Clark. The debate centered around tonight’s big matchup, as Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes are set to square off against Bueckers and UConn.

VIDEO: Paul Pierce Risks Getting Fired Again As He Casually Drops The N-Word On Live TV

Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce has fans fearing for his job following an embarrassing slip-up during ‘Undisputed’ this Monday.

The Hall of Famer has already been fired from a TV gig following his retirement. But he risked it all again after appearing to blurt out the N-word in reference to New York Knicks shooting guard Donte DiVincenzo while reviewing Sunday’s NBA playoff fixtures.

The audio doesn’t quite do the clip below justice, but it sounds like Pierce said, “Look at this N, Key” as he turned to former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson.

Check it out below:

“Paul pierced bout to get fired from his 2nd TV network lmao,” one fan wrote in the comments.

Check out some more reactions here:

Pierce was referring to DiVincenzo’s weak performance during the Knicks’ embarrassing 121-89 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Sunday.

The guard scored 25 points in Game 1, added another 28 in Game 2, and recorded 35 in Game 3. But he scored just seven points in Game 4, shooting 3-13 from the floor.
