Tents Erected at Florida's Hurricane-Struck Tyndall Air Force Base

Military personnel constructed shelters at Florida’s Tyndall Air Force Base on Tuesday, October 16, after Hurricane Michael inflicted what was described as “catastrophic damage” to the base the week before.

Base officials said on Tuesday that residents, including military members, civilians, employees, and their families, were being allowed return to check their property during daytime hours, from Wednesday to Sunday. They stressed that the base and surrounding area remained dangerous, and that power lines and debris were still being cleared up.

“Chaplains, mental health experts, first sergeants, and other support agencies” were preparing to receive those returning to their homes on Wednesday, officials said. Credit: US Air Force via Storyful
