Any news regarding how MCAF New River fared during the hurricane?

Right now I’m still down in Bradenton, FL but on the TV they have been showing Jacksonville flooding and expecting the water to still rise for a couple days. They didn’t say anything about MCAS or Camp Lejeune.

Have some friends that retired their and all is well in town. When I was at New River we secured the birds in the hangars and never had another issue. They have all new masonry barracks, suspect it''s all good. I'll post if I find out anything.

262 had a reunion there a couple years ago and when in one of the new hangers I noticed part of the door was a canvas material. I ask one of the Officers and he said they were hurricane rated but I forget to what category. I don’t know if they still use the term “barracks” Joe since they seemed more like 3 story brick apartment buildings to me.
