Hurricane Ian has swamped a four-story Florida hospital from both above and below, according to a doctor who works there
Hurricane Ian swamped a Florida hospital from both above and below, the storm surge flooding its lower level emergency room while fierce winds tore part of its fourth floor roof from its intensive care unit, according to a doctor who works there.
Water gushed down Wednesday from above onto the ICU, forcing staff to evacuate the hospital's sickest patients — some of them on ventilators — to other floors. Staff members resorted to towels and plastic bins to try to mop up the sodden mess. Bodine plans to spend another night at the hospital, when incoming storm injuries could make things worse.
