Springfield airport suffers significant damage following storms

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WAND) - Strong storms late Wednesday night caused significant damage to the Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport in Springfield.

WAND News viewer photos showed several small planes thrown into fences. Another image showed a plane without any wings or a tail.

Several hangers appeared to have been damaged with walls and roofs torn away.

Twisted metal was also strewn across the area.

There have been no reports of injuries.

The nearby Air National Guard did not report any damage but debris from the main airport was on their property.

Strong storms moved through Central Illinois late Wednesday and early Thursday morning.

It's not clear if the damage in Springfield is from a tornado or strong winds. Several tornado warnings had been issued across the area. The National Weather Service in Lincoln will survey damage to later determine the cause. Storm surveys will not take place Thursday due to another round of potential severe weather in the area, according to NWS.

According to the airport's website, the damage at the airport has not impacted flights. Two American Airline flights expected to arrive Friday were still schedule and two outbound flights also appeared unaffected.

This is a developing story.
