Amery Wisconsin airport HIT HARD last night

[Montblack]

Lead story on the local Twin Cities 6 pm news:

(AHH) Amery Municipal Airport, Wisconsin

....obliterated last night by possible tornado, probable straight line winds.
Direct hit!

(AHH) is about 15 nm in from the Minnesota border, 36 nautical miles east of
my local (ANE) Anoka County-Blaine, MN

I had just come in from my evening walk when the storm blew through. It was
about 9:30 - 10pm when it hit here. Not much power in it - yet.

Well, that sucks. One of our partners in the Aztec does a lot of work in
that area and flys up there often. If I get any details, I'll let you know.

More photos on 10pm (Kare11) news. They reported "some" hangars destroyed
and "some" airplanes tossed about.

WCCO 4 reported at 6pm (with a reporter on the scene) that it was all but
leveled. Isolated number of shots showed same.

KARE11 pictures, from the air, show some hangars standing ...some not. Less
damage than 'CCO was reporting at 6pm. So damage, yes - obliterated, no.
