A tornado prompted the temporary closure of Tallahassee International Airport in Florida on Wednesday, January 27, as crews carried out an assessment of the damage.

Meteorologist Walker R Snowden shot this footage next to the airport, showing a tree that had fallen on a parked vehicle.

The City of Tallahassee tweeted photos showing damage to a small airplane and a hangar.

One of the airport’s two runways was reopened shortly after 1.45 pm. The second runway reopened about an hour later after “final debris removal and safety checks,” the airport said.

The National Weather Service (NWS) confirmed the tornado and said local meteorologists were surveying damage to determine its strength. Credit: Walker R Snowden via Storyful
