Plane, Roof Damaged at Port Columbus International Airport (KCMH) From High Winds

EAST COLUMBUS (James Jackson) -- High winds caused damage at Port Columbus International Airport, scaring some people at the airport in the process.

Both a plane and a hangar were damaged from the weather Monday afternoon.

Officials with Lane Aviation say high winds tore off part of the roof. Insulation from the facility blew all over the parking lot and rooftop. Officials say the building was back up and running within five minutes. Workers spent the afternoon picking up insulation.

Witnesses say the high winds struck fast. Maintenance workers we talked to say it was a scary sight.

Airport officials say the wing and propeller of a small, private aircraft were also damaged from the weather. That plane was on a taxiway.

No one was injured and no passenger flights were affected.
