WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio — A suspected tornado caused damage to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton on Wednesday.
The base said the tornado hit the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force's Restoration Hangar 4 and several other buildings on the base.
First responders and safety personnel are assessing the damage.
“I can’t speak highly enough about our security forces, Fire Department and civil engineer Airmen for their quick response and hard work to assess damage and determine a path forward for restoring operations as quickly as possible," said Col. Travis Pond, 88th Air Base Wing and installation commander.
The National Weather Service has not confirmed a tornado touched down at the base yet.
The storms that hit the base later struck central Ohio, leaving behind damage in Hilliard, Canal Winchester and other parts of the region.
