You can disregard the gusts as far as approach planning is concerned, but this event demonstrates why a gusty tailwind with a wet runway is a problem. The actual wind on touchdown is also hard to be certain about given the way the computer calculates the wind triangle as has been discussed a few times. Going around into a thunderstorm ahead raises other issues. Not getting into the situation in the first place is the best solution, but easier to say after the event.
