The museum reported heavy damage from Hurricane Ike, stating on September 16th that the hangars and hall of fame had received seven to eight feet of water and the lobby three to four. Damaged aircraft include a B-58A and F-100 on loan from the US Air Force Museum, a Beech D-18H, Consolidated PBY-5A, Dehavilland DH-82A, Grumman F3F-2, Lockheed PV-2D, and Stinson L-5. Aircraft flown out of harm's way in advance include their B-17, B-25, DC-3, P-47, F6F, F4U, SBD, PT-17, T-6 and the F8F.

I know a couple of A&P's out there.  I'll see if I can get more details. 

Quite sad as I go there fairly often.
