Narrative:
Cleared R3801B-C and R3804A while VFR from pib to dri, twring thunderstorms pushed me 15 NM north of intended course. Worked my way back south along edge of massive thunderstorm located over LA31. Did not know I had violated restr airspace until poe became visible between clouds. Immediately turned south out of area and landed at dri.
