Surveillance video shows powerful storm that damaged hotel

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Surveillance video provides a new look at the powerful storm that tore apart portions of a popular Louisville hotel.

WDRB obtained the video from the Crowne Plaza Hotel near the airport.  It shows the strong winds that sheared the roof off Thursday night.

The flying debris crashed into several cars in the parking lot.  Winds also tore off sprinklers in the attic, causing water damage in about 150 rooms.

Despite the damage, the hotel says it will be fully operational by Wednesday.
