That's quite a story about your flight!Hope the landing wasn't too scary.
My wife was trying to fly out of Anchorage years ago during a big storm.The plane she was on had been sitting for like six hours waiting for a chance to take if if the strom would ease up a bit.the passengers were getting grumpy.Then they all saw another airplane try to take off.That plane got just off the ground when a big downdraft slammed it back to the ground.That plane aborted and came rolled back to the terminal after that attempt. The passengers on my wife's flight changed their tune after seeing that, and decided the captain should take all the time he needed.
Anyway, I'm glad I cleaned out our gutters a few days ago here in HPP.
