That is pretty odd. I am sure she said level 4. The rain seemed only
moderate to me and visibility seemed like it was 2-3 miles. Perhaps I
got lucky. How sure are you that airlines do not land in level 4? If
so, it seems that they would advise a light aircraft to divert or hold.

ATC does not provide advice as to whether you should divert or hold because
of thunderstorms in the area.
