‘In 69, the WWII wooden barracks were still there, right? Did they make it through Camille?”
Yes, they were fine. We spent the night with our bunks in the hallway. Most of the major damage was from the tidal surge and limited to the coast line (a quarter mile or so inland). Drive down the coastal highway and there wasn’t much but concrete slabs with a set of concrete steps.
Come to think of it, I believe our barracks were concrete block. Anyway, there was very little damage on base.
