Plane Blown off Runway at BHM Airport
The ABC3340 Newsroom is reporting that a plane blew off a runway at the Birmingham Airport.
It is apparently a small plane.
One man was on board and apparently walked away.
More details as we get them.
Strong gradient winds continue across Alabama tonight outside the thunderstorms, averaging 15-30 mph with occasional stronger gusts. We are seeing quite a few reports of limbs and trees down.
Be aware of where any vulnerable trees or limbs might fall on your home tonight and plan accordingly.

Just had a 10 second tropical storm force gust in eastern Birmingham. Hopefully the planes stay in the air. Must be some rough weather to land in at 4,000-5,000 feet.

Ugg, would hate to fly in this weather. Actually, bet take off and landing would be the bad part.

On twitter, another B’ham area teevee station is saying that BHM is reporting 4+ hour delays just for turbulence.

Live airport info at the FAA site shows only a 15 min delay
