Yes Clone, those monster storms that created death and destruction came through my area softer than a baby lamb.

Avoid flying? It has and continues to be the safest way to travel. Clear air Turbulence happens all the time and the drama queens of the 21st century need to investigate if those who died or got injured were wearing their seat belts or not. Every flight I have taken (I have taken too many to count) the pilot always comes on the loud speaker stating to keep your safety belt fastened in case of clear air Turbulence. Of course on long flights we gotta use the bathroom and sometimes have to wait in line. That is the most dangerous part of "ANY" flight. Leading expert my ass! They say stupid things to create publicity for the drama queens to post new panic stricken subjects!!!!
In 1978 flying out of Mexico City,we flew directly into sever thunderstorms over the mountains. The Jet literally dove 12,000 feet,at one point we were out of control flying upside down. I was sitting in the back row,one of the last seats and behind me was a stewardess who was in a harness strap (why they don't put those straps in for passengers is beyond me) she was screaming bloody terror! Was very reassuring to me :). Almost every passenger vomited including myself. The overhead baggage was flying from every direction and the pilot instructed us to put our heads between our legs and clover our heads. This went on for a good 20 minutes.
We made an emergency landing back to Mexico City and were made to leave the Jet through the back door just behind where we were sitting. I watched almost every passenger walk by,vomit all over them while I was in a state of shock. I was the last to get off and I was spinning like a top. My friend helped me get off and held me when we walked into the terminal. A security guard came into the bathroom with me and helped me clean up the best that was humanly possible. What a nice man,soothing me and telling me its all gonna be fine. I will never forget how kind he was to me.
Bottom line, I was afraid to fly because of that. If Dan was still around he would tell you about a Native American Elder woman who I met in Nevada back in 2005. This woman is my healer and I still go back to meet with her. She taught me how to meditate and to loose the fear of dying. She changed my life forever and I delt with my divorce and life changing situations as calm as a cucumber. I wake up each and every morning saying wow i'm still on Earth and even though life on Earth is mostly evil energy,I have learned to harness that energy and make a living!
