Great write up John, thanks. The only reason I wasn't flying too was because I was talking too much and I'm slow to set up. I was, like pretty much everyone else on launch, totally surprised at how the sock flipped from pretty consistently straight in, to straight out and just as strong, in an instant.
Glad you all landed okay.
After the fact I checked the MM5, and saw it was very north, except for a narrow band near surface, and very stable. I will check for and avoid those conditions at CLO in the future.
