KTPA in the hurricane 9OCT2024

Just a shoutout, the ATC online last night running Tampa and the central/ southwest region in Florida were on point. Bad weather, a ton of traffic and overall not an easy time for anyone. They held it down. Props if you managed to land with that cross wind in any of the Tampa area airports.

For the most part yes, however I maintained my distance/downwind to be 6th to land behind the crazy busy ongoing traffic- only for my plane to get hit with an 85mph hurricane crosswind and then ATC is telling me to “please follow instructions” like I could control my plane literally falling out of the sky in those conditions on autopilot. Had to end the flight, but my second attempt landing went well and there were no issues other than my plane holding on for dear life.
