Or was it wishful thinking that the storm wasn’t going to hit that hard or miss them entirely?

The potential is real that 2 Billion dollars in aircraft were lost, but zero lives were lost. It sucks to be a tax payer, but its better than attending funerals. Well said.

I don't think there are any at Air Force bases in the states.. Of course not...we would never be subject to attack against us stateside so why bother to protect military assets from a surprise attack?!
