(Naf El Centro hit hard by weekend storms)....Much of the base was in the dark.

Bennet Road leading to the main gate was closed to to storm damage. The Imperial Irrigation District and KJS worked feverishly to restore the power to the base. By Monday morning power had been restored. At last report, however, Bennet Road was still closed. NAF said the Main Gate had to be accessed from the West. The detour called for access from Interstate 8, taking the Drew road/Seeley exit. Travel Drew Road to Haskell Road and then make a right onto Havens Road and follow it to the Main Gate.
