Hours after three earth tremors hit Accra and some surrounding areas, Ghanaians are still talking about the incident on social media.
Trending at number one, people still seem shaken and amused by the experience.
The tremors, made up of a foreshock, which struck at 10:48 pm and measured 3.7 on the Richter scale, was followed by a mainshock which occurred at 10:54 pm and measured 4.2 before an aftershock at 10:57 pm.
Some residents of Osu, Ablekuma Manhean, Kaneshie, Achimota, Adenta, Circle, Kokomlemle, Accra New Town, Legon, Dansoman, Kasoa, Haatso, Kwashiman, Teshie, Nungua, McCarthy Hill among others said they felt the movement.
While the Ghana Geological Survey Authority says the nature of the incidents is an indication of an imminent major earthquake, social media users are not perturbed.
Some twitter users are rather unhappy about missing out on the experience.

Yesterday’s #Earthtremor brought to the fore the unpreparedness for the second coming of Christ. Death is inevitable; and any moment from now, we can die. Amongst the fun created & facts said around the #Earthtremor , we have to repent for the Kindgom of God is at hand. pic.twitter.com/77YVMfux5v
