Insane Storm / Tornado - Sun 'n' Fun 2011

A heavy squall line moves through the Lakeland Linder Regional Airport at the perfect time - during the annual Sun'n'Fun convention and air show. The National Weather Service confirmed later that day that an EF-1 tornado did in fact touch down on airport property. You can see a tent from Cessna's display crash into the Media Center's pavillion during the clip. A total of 40 airplanes were damaged by the incredible rains, straight line winds and what was later determined to be a small tornado. The campgrounds fared the worst, with some campers and most tents suffering extreme damage.
