Yep that is mentioned in one of the articles I read that was posted on FR.

They’ll eventually get the details all pulled together. There should be
radar info regarding the weather at that moment I’m hoping. Thankfully
there weren’t any deaths or serious injuries that I’m aware of.

I listened to the archived ATC radio traffic before the public site blocked it. Sounded like the pilot on the radio was not confident about what to do with the fact that the weather was very bad changed his mind about using runway 28 and at the “suggestion” of JAX Center air traffic controller said “sure” let’s go for it or give it a shot or something to that effect. Looking at the runway data//. runway 10 has a significant displaced threshold which makes the runway even shorter than it already is much shorter than normal runways at commercial airports. Also given the weight of the aircraft and the fact that the runway is wet from the storm etc etc. The braking distance is seriously increased. So just from an analytics standpoint the pilot should never have attempted the approach in my personal opinion.
