Narrative:
Upon descent, the captain called and informed us that we might have an emergency landing. He asked flight attendant #1 and I to go and give him a visual of the position the flaps were in. We gave him the position number that the flaps were in, and then he told us that we would have to be prepared for an emergency landing. The captain made an announcement to the passenger about a possible emergency landing. We reassured the passenger that everything was going to be ok. The landing was unusually rough, but everything went without any incident.
