Emergency crews from the Albia Police Department, Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, and ADLM Emergency Management are currently responding to damage reported at the airport and nearby properties following a suspected severe weather event.
Early assessments suggest the destruction may have been caused by straight-line winds or a possible tornado. First responders are on scene conducting safety checks, evaluating damage, and looking for any hazards that may pose a risk to the public.
Officials are asking residents to stay away from the affected area while crews continue their work, as access is being restricted to ensure responder safety and allow for an efficient response.
Further updates will be released as more information becomes available and assessments are completed. Community members are encouraged to remain weather-aware and follow official guidance.
Drone images captured by the Albia Police Department show the extent of the damage from above.
