Well remember the (very good) "Black Box" documentary that covered the L1011 that was downed on finals, at Atlanta IIRC, by a microburst under a CB.

In the programme, they set a 757 sim with the weather parameters of the day and asked a Training Capt to fly the approach.

The result was a smoking hole
