Tampa, United States - September 27, 2024

In the wake of Hurricane Helene's landfall as a Category 4 storm, MacDill Air Force Base has been thrust into a state of recovery, surveying the extent of damage left in Helene's path. On September 27, 2024, the base's hurricane recovery team began the arduous task of assessing the storm's impact, which brought record-breaking storm surge and widespread flooding to the installation.

Service members are currently focused on restoring MacDill AFB to full operational capability. The devastation caused by Helene, which carved a destructive path from Florida's Gulf Coast up to Tennessee, has left no doubt about the magnitude of the recovery effort ahead.

The base, critical to military operations, has seen significant flooding in low-lying areas, with waters reaching unprecedented levels. As the recovery team works around the clock, their efforts are a testament to the resilience of MacDill's community, as they navigate through debris, secure facilities, and plan for the restoration of essential services.
