CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. -- Florence aftermath is going to cost Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps installations at least $3.6 billion.

• Water damaged 800 buildings at all three installations, and 565 at Camp Lejeune.
• Officials hope lawmakers in Washington come through with the funding.
• Other concerns are helping the nearly 4,000 military families living in damaged base housing at all three installations from the storm.

Brigadier General Benjamin Watson, the man in charge of Lejeune, Cherry Point and New River says water damaged 800 buildings at all three installations, and 565 at Camp Lejeune.

He says he hopes lawmakers in Washington come through with the funding, while several aspects of Marine and sailors' job duties and trainings are negatively impacted. Thousands are working in older buildings, some 40 to 50 years old, without proper insulation, missing ceilings and in trailers while they await the money to fix damages.

“We're mission capable, but again, it's more costly. It's more costly in time, and the physical and emotional energy it takes from our service members to do their job is significantly more than it was prior to the storm,” said Watson.

Watson says besides the money, his other big concern is helping the nearly 4,000 military families living in damaged base housing at all three installations from the storm.
