The Category 4 storm also rocked Tyndall Air Force Base near Panama City, Florida, likely damaging several aircraft, possibly even the US Air Force's prized F-22 Raptors.

Here's the only photo we've seen yet of one of the F-22s left behind. The hangar is clearly damaged, but it's unclear if the Raptor was as well.

Here's another badly damaged hangar shot from a helicopter by a storm chasing group called WXChasing.

The video from WXChasing was first spotted by Tyler Rogoway at The War Zone.

Inside the hangar appears to be two QF-16s, which are retired F-16s that help train the next generation of fighter jets.

Also inside are what appear to be two Mitsubishi MU-2s, which are turboprop planes.

Several static displays of decommissioned aircraft were damaged too.

Including an F-15 Eagle, which appears to have flipped over.
