The tornado that ripped through Merrill on Sunday evening flipped over airplanes and ripped 6-inch metal pipes from welds on hangars at the Merrill Municipal Airport.
Airport manager John Miller said 20 hangars were damaged by the storm and several were destroyed. Three planes were destroyed when they were either flipped over by the wind or were crushed inside hangars, Miller said. At least five other planes were damaged.
