Well...it is a good thing that your CFI flies in a time when a lot of airplanes have such conveinences
He might not have flown much **back in the day**!
Thunderstorms are obviously a huge weather threat, but follow the well established rules for Thunderstorm avoidance and you'll do well without having to hamstring yourself to a point where you would never fly in certain parts of the country.
Are you sure he didn't say EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS?
Now those buggers! WOW!
