About 5 minutes prior to landing the flight attendant instructed passengers to brace and continued "yelling" until after the aircraft came to a stop following a rough landing.

The airline reported the crew received a mechanical indication and diverted due to "an overabundance of caution, rather than an active threat to the plane."
