Since you Xjet guys are getting your panties all in a bun over the whole thing it must be good, so tell us what happened down there in houston with that RJ of yours?

Although I do not work for Coex, I do reside in the Houston area and we have been experiencing some moderate (sometimes severe) convective activity for the last 4-days. On Wednesday the 23rd, the storms lasted nearly throughout the entire day and were especially bad on the north side were KIAH is located. Apparently the storms/precip were so bad at times that a number of flights opted to/were diverted to alternates throughout the course of the day!

As for the incident - although the databse may not have been updated yet, a quick search of the NTSB accident database index for the month of June does not indicate any activity for entire state of Texas on June 23! Seeing as there is not even a preliminary report to be referenced at the NTSB, why not stop speculating until more facts are available?
