400 flights a day is 16-17 per hour and those are going to be mostly during the day. As someone else points out there is a ~6 hour stretch overnight with no scheduled departures. That's somewhat common even at large hubs.

I don't want to blow your mind but if the airport closes there aren't going to be any controllers in the tower.
