Coming in to land at Amarillo in 2018, we were in a storm. Just before landing, the plane was suddenly buffeted such that we were at around 80° bank to starboard. Pilot went around, couldn't land a second time, so we diverted to Oklahama City.

(I got to talk to the pilots next morning as we were about to fly back to Amarillo, and they confirmed the angle of bank. But they seemed absolutely unfazed)
