I found the right METAR:

EDDH 011220Z 29028G48KT 9000 -SHRA FEW011 BKN014 07/05 Q0984 TEMPO 29035G55KT 4000 SHRA BKN008

This happened on RWY23 - ILS.

I just read that they came back for the VOR/DME approach to RWY33 and landed safely. Lookes like they did lose the wingtip-fence though... Wow, REALLY SCARY!

And MAX demonstrated for the A320 is 33kt/gusts 38 as far as I know...

And I just read the following on PPRUNE:
KLM refused to depart on 23 in that conditions and preferred to wait for 40 minutes for t/o rwy 33
Emirates A345 tried once 23, 15 minutes later 33, but broke off each time, exceeded bank angles on final, diverted to FRA
other widebody ground service was unable to lift up catering boxes due to windforce...all because of emma.
