Several people have been injured after an apparent tornado lifted the roof off the terminal building at Lambert Airport in Saint Louis, Missouri.
The airport was shut down and flights were diverted to other locations due to the strong winds on Friday night, The Associated Press reported.
Windows in the concourse were also shattered and cars in the airport parking lot were damaged.
Four people were taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries due to flying glass.
Passengers on two planes were left stranded on the airport runway due to the winds, but were later rescued.
Officials shut down the airport on Saturday to investigate the damage.
