| Hurricane damage. |
Gerstner Field was rather large for a flying field at almost 5,000 acres. It was hit with a hurricane in August 1918. That likely played a factor why it didn't see any kind of reuse in WWII; not even as an auxiliary field or civilian contract school. Today the area is just agriculture.
