By the way how bad would the turb likely be if flying throught Katrina's eyewall like the hurricane hunters do? Mod, Sev, Ext? I'm wondering if it is like a jetcore where the winds are 150kts but smooth as glass or if there are large gusts to cause bad turb?

I heard it's fairly smooth.

+FC means tornados

There was a time when it was a rule that they actually had to spell out the word Tornado when it applied to avoid confusion... I missed it when they dropped that rule I guess.
