Tornado hits STL
Blew out windows, tore up the roof on C concourse, threw some cars around, and just generally messed stuff up.

I was commuting back home on ExpressJet and very luckily made it in right before. The flight I was originally going to go on diverted to SPI and then went to MCI and I guess they're busing people back. Some of the pictures of the damage are unreal. They're saying something like 70% of the windows in the main terminal are blown out. I can't believe that SuperPark bus that got thrown up on the guard rail. I guess the tower was fairly undamaged, but apparently the airport is still closed UFN.

At least no fatalities as far as I've heard, that's pretty good for a tornado. A terminal, cars, airplanes can be replaced.
Dallas Morning News has an article about an AA flight that basically got pushed across the ramp full of people, bet that was a scary ride.

Just got back from the airport. That place is demolished. C concourse mainly is messed up. I didn't make it back to the A gates or B gates but I heard they weren't too bad. Supposedly WN hasn't canceled all their flights today yet out of STL but they still could. Last I checked the airport was still NOTAM'd closed so nobody's getting in our out.
DryMotorBoatin, the crew room is fine. I have no idea how but all the windows are intact and everything in there looked fine.
