Analysis
The commercial pilot/flight instructor was attempting to land at a private turf airstrip when she reportedly encountered the outflow from a thunderstorm located about one mile away. She elected to continue with the landing and touched down with a greater than desired ground speed. The airplane was still decelerating at the FAR end of the strip when it encountered a mud hole and nosed-over.
