I found the ATC recording. Lots of wind shear. Weather directly over the top of the field. Can't tell 100% but sounds like they didn't know they hit the tail at all. Interesting to see what comes about out of this. To me kinda sounded like a normal wind shear day in a hub, their number just came up. They reported a -20 knot loss at 10 ft.

Sounds like what's been said to you is not quite the truth. I mean, if you look at the pictures, you'd be silly to think that's damage from approach lights vice "dragging" the runway briefly.
