Could have got stuck on a sandbank, before it washed ashore. But still I do not think a storm is going to dislodge a flaperon. Having it ripped off by wind flutter as she came down seems more likely. Whether it was too steep a glide, coming down too fast, a spiral of doom, or the whole plane came down in bits, MH17 style.
