I think it was just a lot of windows blown out in the main concourse, and things inside tossed around - damage to some planes too. Fortunately no injuries - and nothing compared to yesterday's storm damage. The airport has reopened, altho not at full capacity until all the damage is repaired.

I had lost around 15 trees to the storms that have rolled through here. I was working on cleanup yesterday and had to retreat to the safety of my safe room.
I had trees coming down around me. I am afraid to go out and look at my tree damage this morning. My safe room was full last night with family that did not have safe rooms in their home. Two different tornadoes went over us last night but because of the hilly terrain they were not on the ground as it they passed over. I am real fortunate since there have been many deaths and whole communities destroyed.

Thanks for checking in, we are glad you are not only safe, but that you took in others, too, so they could stay safe as well. I hope you don't lose too many more trees!

Saw an article this morning about how bad the weather/tornado situation is right now. Sounds really scary! Hope everyone will be safe!!

This may be bigger than the Super Outbreak of 1974. The weather has been very extreme this year. Good thoughts for everyone in the danger zone!

It looks like bad storms along the East Coast today. Praying everyone stays safe.

Around here we have basements to run into for cover.

I had a couple on tour last week & we hard tornado warnings out then. The couple were going to spend the night in a motel about an hours drive away & they wanted to know what to do. I told them stay away from the windows & head for the bathtub in the motel & cover themselves with pillows or whatever to protect themselves. They were from Denmark so not use to tornado's.

Glad you and yours are okay. Makes me want to build a safe room out here.
