"Many of the injured were transported to local medical facilities for treatment."
The apparent tornado came through the base just before 6 p.m. ET, the base said but didn’t damage any "sensitive military asset or submarine."
"While the situation here is still very dynamic, I want to thank all of our first responders and Camden County first responders for their quick actions," Capt. Chester Parks, Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay commanding officer, said in a statement posted to Twitter. "Their quick response most certainly helped.
