Thanks for posting that.
A few days ago, I wondered how badly the island would look after the Typhoon passed over it.

Well, duh! 8<)
Runways and taxiways are genrerally flat and well-paved.
unless beach erosion wiped out whole parts of the lagoon, the runways would be good.
I understand the runway took about 700 flights last year -several of them emergency landings, so for a remote island with no active naval or AF base, it was pretty busy anyway.

The makers of this particular satellite dish are going to want to use this shot in an advertising campaign.

Thanks for the update.
There's more remaining than I expected too.

Wow, incredible that there's not that much damage considering it supposedly caught the edge of the eyewall. Good news, for sure, especially that the tanks didn't spill everywhere.

looks like it was not as bad as Katrina. In the pic of the runway there is a building very close to the water that looks pretty intact.

Thanks HAL, yesterday I saw a story but it didn't post photos. This seems loads better then it could have been.
GOOD job.

Thank you for this update.
I had sent out info in an email, on this little piece of earth, before it was hit.
I am so grateful it isn't so badly damaged.
Praise the Lord!

Thanks for the info. I appreciated some of the prior threads about Wake Island. It was fascinating to do some study about it's history and how it affected those who have lived there.
