I’m starting to get concerned about SWA, in the AMA accident the news services said it got blown off the runway, it appears from the METAR report there was a thunderstorm with heavy rain possibly in progress at the time. The FAA says the nose wheel collapsed.

From the FAA website:
WEATHER: AMA METAR 0240Z 11007G18KT 1SM +TSRA BR FEW004 BKN017 OVC055 17/15 A3005
RMK WSHFT 0207 TSB 0157 RAB 0158 P0046
