That weather isn't that bad, and the winds are gusty bust pretty much down the runway. I've noticed when flying out of there that there is a parallel taxiway running in between a couple of the runways that they have put the big flashing "please don't land on me" X's on.

Here's an airport diagram with 34L being on the west side of the field. This might also be something as silly as the lights being covered on the taxiway and the guy taxiing into the infield and getting stuck.
