Narrative:
Location: columbia, south america. Flight conditions were light chop with radar returns 20-40 mi off the right. The seat belt sign was on. I was standing behind my seat looking for a psu circuit breaker, because a bank of lights were on and could not be turned off. The fb called my attention to a small radar return that appeared less than 10 mi on the nose. He made a left turn to avoid the cell but we encountered moderate turbulence. I held on to my seat. The #5 flight attendant fell and later complained of pain in her lower leg. All the passenger were in their seats with seat belts on.
