Narrative:
The first officer made an announcement informing us that, in about 20 mins, we would be experiencing bad turbulence. He asked the passenger to remain seated with their seatbelts fastened. He also asked the flight attendants to take their jumpseats. It seemed to have lasted about 30 mins. Because we had forewarning, the flight attendants had enough time to prepare the cabin, and no one was hurt.
