It's just incredible that the flooding could be so bad and completely surround a hospital like that. I wonder how the major electrical and HVAC systems are doing. Things like the expensive medical imaging and laboratory equipment, the equipment for the OR's, their computer equipment and such. I did read that they were able to evacuate all the patients and remove all the pharmacy supplies so that their precious supplies of antibiotics, IV bags, and such would not be damaged.
