Patients and staff at Unicoi County Hospital in Tennessee are trapped on the roof Friday due to flooding caused by Tropical Storm Helene.
WCYB spoke with Erwin Police Chief Regan Tilson, who said more than 50 people are trapped on the roof.
Ballad Health said as of 12:27 p.m., 54 people were on the roof and seven were in rescue boats.
All roads accessing the hospital are impassable due to flooding. Several cruisers and ambulances have been lost.
A SWAT team happened to be training and was able to save medications for the patients. Tilson said all patients and staff are safe at this time.
Thoughts and Prayers. Unfortunately anything more then that is SOCIALISM and AGAINST the CONSTITUTION!
A SWAT team happened to be training? In the middle of a hurricane??
And confiscated drugs while they were at it. Sorry, they “saved medications.”
That’s just Strategic Transportation of Equipment to an Alternate Location, Improving Net Gains.
They were probably able to use their special weapons and tactics to shoot away the floodwaters that had kidnapped the medicines.
They thought it was Rubin “Hurricane” Carter.
Did they try shooting the water?
FL here, we did try shooting Helene but that just pissed her off and she become a Cat 4
You’re supposed to shoot against the wind.
A sequel to “Five Days at Memorial” incoming! (which is a fantastic limited series)
