1. when do you see 155mph crosswinds… Hurricanes/tornados
2. there is a maximum allowable crosswind pilots are able to land in … and its like 15-20 knots… Anything higher and they either try to circle the airport and wait for better conditions or divert

And thankfully modern planes use JP-8 or that would have been one hell of a fireball
