BE200 FL250 KCXO-KALN on J29 vcnty EMG. I requested weather deviation twice and unable due crossing traffic. Thence, encountered MOD-SVR Turbulence and again requested deviation. This time I was told "do whatever you need to do". I then deviated about 20 degrees left. After about 3 minutes, I was chastised for being off course! I then declared an EMERGENCY with the best selection being Air Rage (on my part). If there was a deal, it ain't mine, it's ZME!All in good fun of course. Would it not be appropriate to include an option for Severe Weather in emergencies?

Sorry, it was ZFW airspace.

i imagine that you were told to fly a new heading in those 3 minutes, and you were yelled at because you weren't doing it.i can't leave you flying anywhere you want forever, otherwise you won't progress your next checkpoingjd

Yeah, but I had a level 5 TRW at 12o'clock, the controller denied my initial request due to crossing traffic; fair enough. But then I was getting MOD-SVR Turb about to go into the TRW so I declared an emergency. I did'nt have any other option and this is exactly what would happen in the real world.
