NORFOLK, Virginia — The Navy is moving people and ships ahead of Hurricane Florence , and the Air Force and Army are both flying advanced aircraft elsewhere as a safeguard. “Since 1941, this base and its Marines have been postured to deal with crises at home and abroad and Hurricane Florence is no exception,” said a message from Brig. Some military families and others took to Camp Lejeune’s Facebook page, venting fears and questioning why there was no mandatory evacuation. The move came after the Navy began sending dozens of its Virginia-based ships out to sea a day earlier. The US Air Force and the Air National Guard also moved jets from Virginia’s coast to Ohio.
