ST. LOUIS — An apparent tornado tore through a section of St. Louis' Lambert Field on Friday, lifting the roof off a concourse, injuring several people and forcing the airport's closure.
Planes were diverted to other locations as emergency crews probed the debris for more wounded. Mayor Francis Slay said Lambert would be shut down "indefinitely."

It appears from the news there were no serious injuries at the airport. There is extensive damage to Concourse C and many, many cars parked in the lots. People who parked and flew out for Easter may come home to a nasty surprise.
Other residential areas of St. Louis were damaged as well. It has been a rough week in this area. (I'm 50 miles from St. Louis.)
