4/22/2011 St. Louis MO Tornadic Storms and Damage

A prolific tornado-producing supercell raged across northern St. Louis Friday night and severely damaging the airport and causing havoc across the city.

In this video package shot by BNVN Weather Paparazzi that opens up with clips of I-70 on the east side of I-270 where a semi truck was blown over the median and closed the road while authorities worked on the detours around the damage and debris and various shots of traffic with lightning in the background. Tony said it took a while for traffic to start moving as a state trooper trying to get traffic to finally leave the area once the road was cleared.

The rest of the video package that Tony shot shows POV or Point of View shots as he chased the storms through the high winds, hail, and heavy rain to try and see the rain wrapped tornado during the daylight. He was able to see the wall cloud as the storm was approaching the Saint Louis metro area on the west side of town before it became rain wrapped and struck the area of the Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. The latest reports is airport is closed indefinitely while officials investigate the damage caused by the tornado.
