Evacuations underway for Patrick AFB and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

"The U.S. flag flying from the Patrick Air Force Base flag pole here will be lowered in a traditional military ceremony today at 4 p.m. by the 45th Space Wing commander and some the last Airmen to leave the base as it evacuates in advance of Hurricane Jeanne.

"This is a symbolic ceremony that shows while we are leaving our base, we remain united as a command under our flag," said Col. Mark Owen, commander of the 45th Space Wing. "We'll take the flag with us to Kennedy Space Center, where we'll ride out the storm in a hardened facility. Our hope is to raise the flag when we return to Patrick."

Col. Owen ordered the evacuations of Patrick Air Force Base and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, effective at 8:30 a.m. today, because of Hurricane Jeanne. This includes military family housing areas and Airmen's dormitories here. About 2,500 people live in those areas. Under the terms of this evacuation order, only residents of base housing, dormitories and military/civilian personnel living in quarters on the barrier islands or Merritt Island will be eligible for reimbursement of evacuation costs, as long as they stay in Florida.

Only a small contingent of personnel reported for duty today to conduct final button-down actions. Operations at both bases have closed. Most assigned aircraft were evacuated; a few are secured in hangars. "
