Gusting at up to 20 kts? That shouldn't have been much of a problem.

Another unfortunate loss, and it saddens me that the kids were victims in
this accident.

Neil, the loss was indeed unfortunate and very sad. The wind that day
was gusting from many directions and other very experienced pilots
were having difficulty landing. I have stated before that the SR22 (at
least the one that I flew) was one of the most difficult planes I have
had to land; speed control is critical in that plane. I have bounced
landings in the SR22 more than once. I was to also fly that day and
cancelled because the gusts made landing very difficult. I could
easily see how one of the gusts lifted a wing tip while trying to land
and causing the plane to flip. I am not saying that is what happened,
but I certainly can see that possibility on that day. I tried to
locate the actual Metars for that airport and other airports in the
Twin Cities for that date, but was unsuccessful.
