A 4.8 magnitude earthquake took place in New Jersey on Friday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey. While no major damage was reported, people felt it throughout NJ’s surrounding states, and one Pennsylvania man will “never forget” where he was.
A FUCKING EARTHQUAKE HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY VASECTOMY
— Justin Allen (@Jallen_Town) April 5, 2024
“I really wasn’t worried because [the doctor] had walked me through every step of the procedure, so it mostly felt like a brief speed bump and we were mostly just calm and laughing as the room shook,” Justin Allen told The Guardian after getting his vasectomy, a procedure the Mayo Clinic describes as “a form of male birth control that cuts the supply of sperm to your semen.”
Many vasectomies are done using a local anesthetic, in which case the patient remains awake. That was the case here.
Everything appears to be good with Allen, who already has two daughters and two dogs, according to his Twitter/X profile. His tweet has gone viral with almost ten million views since he shared news of the incident.
