Roads are also strewn with debris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The base posted a photo of a flooded sports complex online Friday morning, and later said in a follow-up comment that waters had receded and the situation had improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Helene slammed into northwestern Florida late Thursday night as a Category 4 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 140 miles per hour. It has since weakened and become a tropical storm over Georgia as it moved up through the southeast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said at least 11 people in the state had died, and dozens more were trapped in homes, and North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said two people there had died as a result of the storm so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moody Air Force Base in Georgia also reported downed trees, power lines, and debris after the storm passed. The base <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/moodyairforcebase\/posts\/pfbid02v7vS447s2H6ySuNnoJAYMyuLGJgufscPbMhKrUpZuqkpQUyvHRd7W2iDAPoxF3ZVl\" target=\"_blank\">said in a social media post Friday morning<\/a> that first responders and recovery crews are assessing the damage and clearing streets, and that people should remain sheltered in place for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tyndall, located in Florida\u2019s panhandle, on Friday resumed normal operations following Helene, and reported no major damage so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2079\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Eglin-Helene-planes-in-hangar.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-76864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Eglin-Helene-planes-in-hangar.jpg.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Eglin-Helene-planes-in-hangar.jpg.jpg?resize=300,208 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Eglin-Helene-planes-in-hangar.jpg.jpg?resize=768,532 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Eglin-Helene-planes-in-hangar.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,710 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Eglin-Helene-planes-in-hangar.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1064 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Eglin-Helene-planes-in-hangar.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1419 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, moved aircraft such as F-15s, F-16s and C-130s into King Hangar to avoid damage from Hurricane Helene. (Matt Veasley\/U.S. Air Force)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a post on social media, Tyndall said damage assessments are still under way, but that the base has dodged the worst of the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Helene bore down on Florida in recent days, Tyndall evacuated the 325th Fighter Wing\u2019s F-35A fighter jets. A limited evacuation of personnel in nearby counties that were likeliest to be hit by the hurricane was also ordered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commenters on Tyndall\u2019s Facebook page expressed relief that this hurricane was not a repeat of 2018\u2032s Hurricane Michael, which devastated Tyndall and damaged about 17 F-22 Raptors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That storm forced 11,000 airmen and their families to evacuate from Tyndall to bases in Virginia, Alaska and Hawaii, and Tyndall\u2019s recovery was a hard process spanning years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eglin Air Force Base, which is located further west of Tyndall, also moved to a mission-essential posture Thursday and closed its schools Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eglin began storing its aircraft in large hangars on base earlier this week. Photographs posted online showed F-15s, F-16s, and C-130s sheltering from the storm in the base\u2019s massive King Hangar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air Force bases
