"At this time we have multiple power lines in both directions on Centennial Boulevard, which is causing the roads to be blocked," Wheeler said. Police and fire are working to get to the John C. Tune Airport. There are reports of damage but no confirmed injuries so far. Wheeler said that"at the airport everybody, as far as we know, is okay at this point.
