I dunno, I wasn't there, but as a pilot, you have to look at "localized" weather.

Say there's a hurricane in Miami.

But on your arrival path and at the airport, the weather is nothing more than IFR, gusty winds, well within limits of your aircraft's performance and comfort level.

What DOO ya do?
Where are you landing at? If the weather is fine then go right ahead, but this storm was right on top of the airport. I am not saying the pilot made a bad decision. I just want to know why the plane was allowed to land. If there is a tornado warning, wouldn't the tower have to evacuate?
