We've landed but we can't get off the plane! It's too windy to attach the jetty a shower is passing & the plane is rocking.

It's bumpy on the plane. It's 30gust50KT & the shower is passing. I think it'll be 10 minutes until the gusts ease!

Being buffeted (if that's a word) by another shower. It's the plane swaying, not dramatic effect from me!
