Marines at Camp Lejuene aren’t being evacuated either
“Marines at Camp Lejuene aren’t being evacuated either”
Where would they go? Transport en mass, or turn them loose? Lejuene is a hardened site. Plenty of shelters and they can be called upon to respond locally should the need arise.
We always used to talk about where to evacuate Personnel in Tidewater Virginia. And they answer always seem to come up as Richmond. Richmond? Floods at the drop of a hat... never did figure out the planing a evacuation sites, budget was always the kicker. I used to recommend Dayton Ohio (Wright-Patterson AFB) it’s quite a haul but if you really want to get out of the way it would seem to me the most logical place. Cost prohibitive, especially if the storm is shifting track lines, as Florence has been for the last week.
A squadron of choppers flew over my house on Tuesday. I’m guessing they were from MCAS Cherry Point. I believe they landed at an airfield nearby and will weather the storm there.
