Two hospitals in Florida are evacuated all of their roughly 330 patients due to damage from Hurricane Michael, according to an article on the ABC News website.
Bay Medical Sacred Heart, which sheltered 1,500 people – staff's families, first responders and patients – said the building was damaged and it was evacuating more than 200 patients.
Gulf Coast Regional Medical Center also evacuated its approximately 130 patients, starting with the most critically ill, because of "infrastructure challenges."
Both hospitals kept their emergency rooms open.
