Since this came up, now remember a diversion on CO (PMCO) to AUS a (IIRC) about couple of decades ago. We refueled, they allowed (quite a few) pax to deplance if they didn't have checked luggage. And since I was #1 on u/g list, got to fly in FC on the hop (back) to Houston after someone stayed in Austin.
Lots of grumbling when we landed, as IAH was DRY, no puddles, no signs of rain. Though one could see weather all around when we were circling IAH an hour earlier.
