It certainly was 'lively' in Gib that day. Sitting near the threshold myself the winds were (mostly) down the runway but, as we know, the Rock is a unique environment with frequent windshear - hence Capts landings only. There were also several waterspouts reported in the area around the time of the approach. I've loved operating in Gib and the decision to immediately divert (for whatever reason) was a smart one!
