At an approach speed of about 130 kn, a 30 knot crosswind should give a crab angle of about 13°, if I calculated it correctly. It just seem like the plane was crabbing more than that. The description was of gale force winds, which is 34 knots and above, although the wind direction wasn't mentioned.
All in all, I would've preferred diverting to another airport, had I been a passenger...
