A Twitch streamer named BryanArnett (7.6K followers) experienced an earthquake while he was broadcasting from his home on August 6, 2024. For those unaware, Southern California (including Los Angeles) encountered a 5.2-magnitude earthquake that night. While it lasted only for a few seconds, the tremors were clearly felt.
Fans quickly clipped the moment from BryanArnett's stream and posted it online. Popular X.com user FearBuck (@FearedBuck) also shared a video that ended up receiving a lot of reactions.
BryanArnett's cat (named Juju) was in front of the camera when the earthquake hit. Feeling the desk tremble underneath him, Juju was left in a confused state for a few seconds.
Fans screengrabbed his reaction and said:
"His cat was so confused like him."
Another fan shared a picture of the feline and wrote:
"(The) cat didn’t know w*f was going on."

Watch: Twitch streamer experiences an earthquake while live on the platform
Coincidentally, some LA-based streamers were live on Twitch when the California earthquake hit on August 6, 2024. One of the content creators was BryanArnett. Watch his reaction to the phenomenon here:
Just a few seconds before he experienced the earthquake, the Twitch streamer's phone gave him an "Amber Alert" warning:
"(Reacting to his phone's notification) Earthquake detected. Oh sh*t. Yo. We're in the middle of an earthquake? Juju's (his pet cat) like the f**k is going on? Y'all feel that sh*t. Find a safe place (reading his chat) You think it's like that? Everything is done."
Later, the Twitch streamer said to his friend (who walked into his room moments after the earthquake):
"Yeah (answering to his friend who asked him if he felt the tremors). I got like an Amber Alert and then I was like, what's vibrating, and it said, 'earthquake detected,' and I was like 'what?' and then I felt it."
