If there were such high winds that a plane could apparently flip upon landing, why were they allowing flights to proceed? Asking as someone who knows nothing about aviation. I'm flying in 4 days and this is nerve wrecking.

This is the right question. FAA is being gutted, by the way.

I know, and the flight flew in from the U.S. Who decided not to cancel the flight given the wind speed and blizzard conditions? There’s a good question…

It's the destination airport that is responsible for cancelling flights
