Narrative:
Repositioning flight about 29 minutes from landing; we got the announcement to prepare cabin. Secured galley and came back into cabin at row 1 hit turbulence so took seat in 1C. After sitting we had at least one really hard jolt and then I heard the other flight attendant call my name then turned to see if she was ok. Still could not get up at that point. When we arrived at the ramp area to deplane the boarding door would not open after trying 2 times the captain then tried with no success. Also first officer tried. Severe turbulence was cause.
