I see in the local paper a plane "crashed" over at Mt Pleasant (MOP).
There's not a lot of information available, but we had thunderstorms throughout the area with winds varying from calm to gusting over 40 along with hail and torrential rains. Here which is about 16 miles east of the MOP runway I had 2 inches of rain in 15 minutes. "As I understand" (which means more than second hand) it was his first flight after being checked out in a new SR-22. There's nothing yet on the specific weather conditions at that location at that time. Landed about 250 feet short of the runway, wiped out the gear, and walked away.
