we got in around 1130, we hit the worst around cruise (FL240 or so), the F/O came on and said we were going to go through Severe Turb, you could hear the concern in his voice, my stomach def sank a little.
These planes are strong but when you taxi behind one and bumps on the runway cause the tail to shake, I could only imagine what Severe does. I also remember hearing a MX guy tell me how the Cables get frayed every now and then from stress( dunno how true it is)
Turb def makes me very concerned
