Review of Allegiant Air flight St Petersburg-Clearwater → Chattanooga in Economy

It was time to return to Chattanooga from a wonderful Florida Vacation
Allegiant requires all passengers to be at the airport 2 hours before departure so we had to get to the airport at 5:35AM
After waiting for a brief few minutes at the TSA checkpoint I noticed the abundance of Allegiant's aircraft destines for places all over the eastern and northern parts of the US
At 7:15 we began our boarding, I again had priority boarding
Before we got underway it started to rain which seemed to slow the boarding process for some odd reason
The "Visit Florida Plane was departing along with quite a few MD80s
Eventually we taxied to the end of the runway, waited for about a minute and powered into the skies over Florida
We had a fairly smooth cruise at 35,000 feet with light turbulence in some spots
We began our decent into middle Tennesee
As we where on our final approach it suddenly got really bumpy and lots of turns
Then we hit the runway….Really Hard
Its Chattanooga's really small terminal
Looking back at N216NV before entering the terminal
Time for the 2 hour drive to Huntsville
