Yesterday 3/20/11 LAS-LGB.

Pilot warned us of "bumpy" flight before takeoff due to high winds in LAS and big storm in LGB.

Most of flight was normal/moderate chop.

1/2 hour outside LGB a violent shift to the right that threw the FA's to the floor. Followed shortly by a sharp and violent drop. Felt like the plane hit with a giant hammer.

Drinks flew throughout the cabin. FA's huddled on floor.

Rest of the flight was very rough and the airsick bags were used throughout the cabin. While waling off plane there were a few who didn't make it to the bags and the clean up crew had their work cut out for them.
