There was a lot of turbulence and down and updrafts. It was pretty awesome but even though I have 40 dual hours in a real 172 I have never flown a plane into a hurricane so I am just going what was happening. At one point the plane was going sideways and up and down all at the same time. I was on autopilot but was being up and down drafted a 100 feet or more. Pretty exciting and somewhat scary. FWIW
