The Metar didn't call for it...

That's the last Metar before the event:

LIME 050150Z 26011G23KT 220V310 9999 VCTS FEW040CB BKN080 23/16 Q1010=

The one after the event looks unexciting:

LIME 050220Z 34011KT 9999 SHRA TS FEW015 SCT030CB BKN050 18/17 Q1011=

The difference in temperature shows the passage of the severe thunderstorm line in between of those, there was definitely at least a 30-40 KN gust which is not being shown since no SPECI message was issued. Only looking at the Metars one could have been inclined to give it a shot, but with the impressive fireworks in the sky maybe not and ATC could have seen this and should have told them to wait:

The storm was registered by the stormtracker

https://kachelmannwetter.com/ch/stor...805-0205z.html

And the analysis says (if you click into the storm center) that it moves with 61KPH and gusts to 70 KPH are expected - there will be now way with a storm moving with 60+ KPH gusts would be slower than than - rather faster.
