Read the full NTSB narrative
The #1 flight attendant suffered a fractured ankle when she got up from a passenger seat to answer the interphone during moderate turbulence. The captain reported they encountered moderate turbulence while deviating around a small cell. The seat belt sign was turned on at the time of the encounter. Two SIGMETs were in effect at the time which had outlooks covering the area of the encounter. Both of the outlooks were calling for diminishing thunderstorm activity in the area.
