On March 4th there were strong winds in Dallas.

24 knots of wind and 38 knots in gusts.

Later the winds picked up to about 35 knots of wind and gusts up to 46 knots.

A moving tower is never a good sign!

great find, if you listen to the next hour, it got crazy.
Controller earned his check that's for sure, great comms on the winds with the pilots go/no go,
several go arounds, and diverts, and all safely.
Kudos to the ATC
