'UTTER DEVASTATION'

Brits mock 3.3 magnitude Surrey earthquake with amusing Twitter memes of toppled chairs

Not everyone in the county was alarmed by last night's seismic activity

BRITS have taken to social media to mock the 3.3 magnitude earthquake in Surrey last night.

Twitter is awash with memes about the weak murmur, which caused little if any damage.

The unusual seismic activity was felt in Epsom, Reigate and Horley, near Gatwick Airport.

Locals woke up to feel their houses "shaking", with one resident even saying it "felt like a truck had hit the house."

It comes also two weeks after a 2.4 magnitude earthquake struck parts of Surrey in the early morning.

The quake was felt by 80 residents in the same part of the UK where a "swarm" of tremors hit last summer. - prompting warnings that more could be in store.

But not everyone felt the same level of drama and took to social media to mock the reactions of their neighbours.

Throughout the morning people have been posted memes of chairs knocked over in a garden and even one of Kim Kardashian crying.
