My theory developed while flying in this neck of the woods, is that a thunderstorm coupled with a 15 kt. crosswind caused the water to stay on the runway, greatly reducing the braking action, which was never reported.Generally twice round the hold and the storm passed, the wind changed and the runway drained naturally.
