Flight into Thunderstorms

Hi all,

I've got a question I've been meaning to ask for a while now. ..hope this is the correct forum. Around 4 years ago I was on a Mexicana A320 flying home to ORD from Cancun, and around halfway home, we flew through a horrendous line of severe storms. We were literally tossed around like a ping pong ball for a minute or so (felt like forever). Im an experienced flier, and have taken lessons in the past so I at least am a teeny bit knowledgable, but I've never been terrified like that in a plane of any sort.

Can anyone please comment on procedures for penetrating severe storms?

Thanks a lot!
