Have you ever been on a plane you thought was about to crash?

That was the most intense, turbulent flight, out of easily over 100 flights that, I've ever experienced... I was lifted up off my seat several times and it shook open overhead bins. The pilot fought to keep the wings balanced through approximately 45 minutes of thinking this may be my last day on Earth.

I'm still nauseous, although grateful to be alive and on the ground... count your blessings today and hug your loved ones. You never know when it's your time to leave this rock. ♥

Now tomorrow morning, I fly to New Orleans. UGH. Don't feel like flying right now, actually. I need more than a day to get my balls to descend.

Has anything similar happened to you?

Last night was crazy windy, and with the storm that was brewing im surprised they didnt delay you until today.

I would have preferred to delay it, actually. I'd like to see a satellite photo of that storm... anyone know where they keep those?
