Narrative:
Flight encountered light occasional moderate turbulence at FL320. Descended to FL250 where they encountered severe turbulence vicinity irw (will rogers). Downdrafts at FL250 resulted in a TCAS RA with another aircraft that required a further descent to satisfy the RA. Flight continued out of turbulence and landed safely at destination. No injuries reported. Flight in question entered severe turbulence with descending out of FL320 to escape large transport ocnl mod turbulence only to encounter sev turbulence at FL250.
