"As shown in the photos here, nearly every sliding door on the airport
was lifted out of it's tracks and blown in. Some sailed yards across
the airport and one wrapped itself around a utility pole.

Once relieved of their doors, hangars failed progressively, with
exterior walls and downwind doors departing and interior partitions
crumbling. Many of the airplanes were blows right out of the hangars
and found dozens of yards away, usually in tatters. The most windward
row of T hangars - constructed in the 1970s - was blown completely
down, leaving a debris-strewn concrete pad but little else."....
They go on a lot. But the key is the door.

The door is the key. Wilma devastated the little airport where I grew up.
It's heartbreaking. The newer hangars with the bifold doors and external guy
wires (installed just before the storm) had no damage. The older hangars
with sliding doors had damage from doors that fell in. The concrete hangars
with wood roofs had no roofs anymore because the sectioned hanging doors
gave way. The worst damage was the older small T-hangars which were built
before any windstorm code was required.
