I've been thinking the same thing.

Does anyone know the particulars of this crash? Did his 210 come apart
in the storm, or (as was implied elsewhere) did he crash into terrain
while under control?

One news report said there were three debris fields. I know how I read

I was in Savannah that day and saw that convective stuff go by. I
could not believe how dark and threatening they looked - we got pounded
on by fierce rain and I was waiting for hail. Looked to me like the
kind of stuff you see a funnel cloud come out of.
