This was in a L-IV-P without pressurization working. Without a door seal, water poured in around the door until we got high enough, the canopy frosted over. The turbulence was so bad that it was just a hang-on and pray situation. When we finally popped out in the clear, the g-meter indicated 3.8 G's and the alternator, GPS, and ATI were all inop. Fortunately, no hail. Gives you a good feeling to know that the plane can take that kind of punishment and still stay together. Door seal now installed but plane in for upholstry. Will be happy to get pressurization going next month, so I can flight over most of the nasty stuff out there.
