ST. LOUIS—A powerful tornado caused severe damage but no fatalities when it struck Lambert-St. Louis International Airport and other areas of the city on Friday.
The tornado shattered hundreds of panes of glass in the facility's main terminal and even blew a shuttle bus on top of a roof, the Associated Press reported.
Although one concourse was so heavily damaged that it might remain closed for some time, the airport opened for arriving flights on Saturday and departing flights on Sunday. Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt declared a state of emergency in Missouri Friday in response to the impact of tornadoes across the state.
