Edit: yeah, looked on flightradar tracking, they were landing 23. Current winds are 280 25 gust 32 knots, which is a crosswind component of 16 gust 22 knots.
Wouldn't runway 23 be a tailwind? 5 is the number painted on the NE end of that runway. I thought they would be heading into the wind for landing. I'm probably mixed up on this.
