The worst flight I have taken was a few years ago. Philadelphia to New Orleans. There was a major storm in New Orleans causing us to circle the airport for 45 minutes or so with heavy turbulence. Finally the pilot hit the wall of divert to Mississippi or try to land. He decided to land. Everyone on the plane took a deep sigh of relief when we landed. The only amusing part was watching a guy debate the barf bag and the person next to him holding his knowing he was going to follow suit if the first guy broke.
My friend's plane had to land in MS and refuel because of the severity of the storm.

I've never understood the storm thing. Its a huge aircraft travelling at fast speeds. How could rain and wind stop it from landing properly? Were you guys scared you might crash?

I was on a flight that had to abort a landing because crosswinds were blowing the plane around enough to possibly force a wing to hit the ground.
