Multiple tornadoes touched down late on Memorial Day near Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, damaging about 150 off-base military homes but leaving key parts of the Dayton installation largely untouched.
“The damage was confined to our privatized housing area adjacent to the base,†service spokeswoman Marie Vanover said May 28. “The main part of the base, including the runway and parking ramps, were not impacted greatly. A thorough [foreign object debris] check was required, but the aerodrome is now open.â€
