Ever flew in a thunderstorm?

[Nocturnal]

Was it scary? My mom is flying here right now and I hope she's ok as it is raining/thunderstorming pretty hard.

It was scary. I should have just taken a plane.

Just once, on my way to Texas. You could see lightening out the windows and plane was shaking quite a bit.

EDIT: It was pretty fvcking scary.

Yes, I slept through it.

At first, the thought of flying through thunderstorms scared me but then I read up on it and even if lightning struck the plane, everything would be okay.

I was on a plane a few mo's back (sometime earlier this year don't remember exactly which one)...

Anyway lightning hit the plane. Saw a bright flash, and heard the noise, and pretty much that was it, plane did fine. Still scared me but I guess it happens frequently enough and it's not really an issue. The takeoffs and landings can be a bit of an issue so sometimes they'll reroute to a different airport of weather is an issue, they are pretty conservative about those kinds of things so I tend not to worry about it.
