Raw Video: Tornado Slamming St. Louis Airport
Loading...
Uploaded by infowaredm on Apr 24, 2011
A severe storm that struck the St. Louis area left homes flattened in suburbs around Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, which remained closed Saturday a day after being hit by a tornado.
Crews had worked through the night in trying to clean up the damaged terminal, boarding up windows and sweeping up shattered glass. That effort pressed on Saturday, with police standing guard at spots where windows had been blown out.
St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay and the airport's director, Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge, told reporters Saturday that the airport could reopen Sunday depending on the quickness in getting power restored and the ability of affected airlines to shuffle some of their terminal arrangements.
The National Weather Service confirmed a tornado had hit the airport, ripping away a large section of the main terminal's roof.
At the airport, roughly of the main terminal's windows had been blown out, sending glass and rain into the building. Elsewhere on the property, trees were toppled and power lines downed, limiting access even hours after the storm passed.
A dozen passengers stayed in the terminal Friday night and were given pillows and blankets.
Airlines were assessing damage to their planes Saturday.
