A lot of the hangars and open buildings took extensive water damage. We lost one electrical cable that crews were on first thing Tuesday morning. Other than that one cable, Ellsworth said the only other base service lost due to the storm was the sewage treatment plant on NAS II for about 16 hours. The duty personnel from every department and tenant command did a great job pitching in to help. Barnett reiterated Ellsworth's praises for Sigonella personnel who pitched in on the clean-up effort.
Gypsy moths are small and insignificant looking, but they are powerful insects.
Their detection halted the onward transportation of hundreds of privately-owned vehicles and pieces of military unit equipment coming from Germany during the summer of 1994. MTMC has issued special advisories to all European transportation offices to advise service members to inspect their outdoor household goods carefully for gypsy moth eggs and larvae. Service members moving from Germany should make certain all outdoor household goods are clean and free of infestation before the carriers arrive to pack their property. Service members should also check to see that movers situate all outdoor household goods in the number one container and place them as close to the door as possible for easy access to USDA inspectors upon arrival. Outdoor household goods should be clearly marked on the inventory and the container number annotated next to the line item.
