The U.S. air force could have lost as many as 22 F-22 Raptor fighter jets when Hurricane Michael tore through Tyndall Air Base in Florida last week. Tyndall base is located east of Panama City, near the point where the deadly storm made landfall, and a number of jets were left in hangars as the Category 4 storm rolled in.

In Michael’s wake, buildings at the base were destroyed and one parking lot was “looking like a salvage yard,” littered with upturned vehicles, the Washington Post reported. Various clips posted to social media showed hangars with their roofs torn off.

Initially it was reported that the base’s fleet of F-22s had somehow escaped damage, but that does not now seem to be the case, as reports seep through of a devastation worse than originally feared.

Various reports indicate that although Tyndall was evacuated of its staff and their 600 families, a number of jets were left behind.News.com.au reports that 33 of Tyndall’s 55 Raptors were flown to Ohio, but that would still leave 22 planes that had remained in Florida.
