From: Wandering the FIR and cyberspace often at highly unsociable times
Having been caught in a microburst once and escaped very close to the treetops despite full engine power and min power speed, I think it is quite possible that an aircraft might not survive such a double whammy.

Regarding the water penetrating the high pressure area in the front of a blade: Can you imagine a stone from a catapult not being able to fly through the air because the wind is strong? It might get deflected, but it still goes throught the air. Inertia, my dear chap.
