Looking at Jeppesen charts during that time, the turbulence looked pretty bad over Kansas. I mean from moderate to severe!

It's why you always keep your set belt on whenever possible. (Need one for the latrine though Especially with Airbus.) :lol:

All 21 patients transported have been treated and released from area hospitals.
