Yep, I also heard a report of 190 knots at altitude (great if you're going that direction!)

I don't know the A340's crosswind limit, but it's probably around 30 knots, as a WAG.

Steady-state surface winds were around 30-35 knots, depending on your exact location, with frequent gusts of 45 knots and greater. Obviously a problem if the predominant runways are perpendicular to the wind direction, hence the single runway ops if there's only one runway in a more favorable direction.
