Midwest Tornado Closes Lambert International AirportMidwest Tornado Closes Lambert International Airport

Have you ever heard of a tornado closing an airport?  This evening in St. Louis, Missouri a big tornado has closed Lambert International Airport.  Homes have been leveled, power lines are down over a major highway closing south bound and north bound 270 at McKelvey in Maryland Heights, MO.  Many people are without power.

In my area, we received some golf ball sized hail coupled with high winds and torrential downpours of rain.  The tornadoes were all around.  Yes, we went to the basement when we heard the warning sirens.

Pray there are no serious injuries.  Stuff can be replaced, but people cannot.

Missouri weather can be dangerous.  We have flash flood warnings in place now and the threat of more severe weather.

Always pay attention to what is going on in the sky.

Ann we do not get many tornadoess around here, but I can remember one big on in the early 80's and it was also around our Airport.  It is amazing the damage that they can cause.  Glad to hear that your safe and I hope that all your neighbors are as well.

George,

The damage is unbelievable.  Many people lost their houses.  The airport has a lot of damage.  So far no fatalities, but they have not been to every area.

I usually do not watch the news but the weather is something I do want occasionally.

I heard the winds were 170 miles per hour.
