This is not unexpected, since it was the same storm system that hit Dallas....
I hate flying to dallas, I always encounter bad turbulence everytime..
I was on that flight. It was my first time flying alone and it was the scariest moment of my life. I've flown through turbulence before, but never have its been so bad where bags were flying through the air. I was in the window seat, my bag ended up in the aisle 2 rows behind me...
