Here's the PIREP from the extreme precip and severe turbulence encounter:
MBS UUA /OV MBS360005/TM 1939/FL110/TP LNC2/TB SEV/RM LOST 1000FT ONE PERSON INJURED NO A/C DAMAGE

The "injury" was nothing major, the pilot bit his lip during the unexpected jolts and drew some blood, but the encounter left us rattled (pax was a pilot, too). We hit extreme precip and 2 pockets of severe turbulence. The aircraft instantaneously pitched down approx 20 degrees. I pulled throttle to idle and recovered.

Prior to this, we'd had success in avoiding the worst of the precip and turbulence.

Yikes, severe turbulence is never fun. Glad everything turned out ok there.
