Severe Thunderstorms Damage Airplanes, Hangars In Kansas

At Least One Hangar Collapsed Completely Due To The Storm

A severe thunderstorm that tore through Johnson County, KS Monday night damaged airplanes and collapsed at least one hangar at Johnson County Airport.

Television station WDAF reports that the Olathe fire department got a call about 9:40 local time monday night to check out the building that collapsed. "We had a hangar that only parts were standing. Most of that building is gone. Full of planes, a plane or two is upside down. Thankfully, nobody is hurt. We are checking the damage around the surrounding area here at the airport, working with airport officials," said Olathe Fire Captain Mike Hall.

The airport was closed for the rest of the night, and reopened for limited operations on Tuesday, according to the Kansas City Star.

The National Weather Service said that the damage was consistent with straight-line winds of 80 miles per hour.

Each hangar was fully leased, with space for 14 aircraft each. No estimate of the damage to the buildings or aircraft has been released.
