Planes land again at tornado-hit St. Louis airport

The main airport in St. Louis, Missouri, expects its first departures Sunday after a tornado struck, knocking out power, shattering windows and sending passengers scrambling for cover from falling debris.

A handful of incoming flights touched down Saturday night for the first time after the powerful tornado hit Friday.

The twister left behind "an incredible trail of devastation," the National Weather Service said.

No deaths or life-threatening injuries were reported western Missouri communities as crews worked to restart power, conduct safety checks and clean up the damage.

The plan is to have the Lambert-St. Louis Airport at 70% capacity Sunday morning, said St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay.
