WASHINGTON - Hurricane Ivan inflicted "catastrophic" damage on the
Pensacola Naval Air Station in Florida and the base may not reopen for
two weeks, Navy officials told NBC News on Friday.
Rear Adm. T. McCreary, a spokesman for the Navy, said that Ivan the
caused "hundreds of millions of dollars" in damage at the historic
82-acre base, damaging every building and destroying several edifices
on the grounds.

82 acres?! 6,000 acres is more like it.

I wonder if that was actually a reference (badly stated) to that part of NAS
Pensacola which, IIRC, is so designated by the US?
