Lambert international airport was hit by a tornado. Wow.
I hope everyone is safe. Second wave of storms in three days with damaging tornadoes.

    I'd say it was pretty bad. It really seems like it was a direct hit on Lambert. I-70 is shut down in some areas. Tornadoes all over the place. Scary shit.

    i live a mile from the airport and yes there is significant damage there. it is closed until further notice. the funny thing is i did not know anything about the tornado..... my band had a show tonight in mid county at the same venue that was hit by the new year's eve tornado, which is about 15 miles from the airport. i knew that dangerous storms were coming as i was driving to the gig but i did not know the stormpath or how dangerous they were supposed to be. we started at 9 pm and played out first set and when i came off stage at a little after 10 i had 17 text messages asking me if i was ok. i was like "or course i'm fine. i am playing a show, why is everyone asking if i'm ok?" and someone replied that "the airport got hit by a tornado and there is extensive damage to the airport and surrounding areas. just wanted to make sure you are alright". i was like "holy shit!" because the first thing i thought of was my dog who was home alone. i had a friend drive by my house and check out the damage because i was not going to get home until after 2 am and they told me that my neighborhood was ok but the airport was a different story. i am going to drive by there tomorrow morning and try to see how bad it is and maybe take some pics. the funny thing is i never would have known it even happened until i got home had all of those people not texted to check on me...

    i hope everyone around here that might be affected by this is ok. scary stuff for sure.

    here is a video of people in the airport watching the storm and then being forced to take cover. it is kind of surreal for me as i have walked through those same areas in that terminal a thousand times in my lifetime.
