If you were over the piano keys, there isn't much room for error at that point. All of my go-arounds have occurred due to lack of visibility (when weather is present), but not because of turbulence. This is a whole different ball game since it's unexpected. The pilots could've very well gone close to full throttle in this case. Afternoon TS's in Florida are no joke.
