Get on the stick down there!While she was talking, I kept wondering how they could possibly get 1000 patients and the hospital staff out with just one helipad on the roof, even if FEMA sent a fleet of helicopters. Also, it's about 2:00am there. I couldn't begin to imagine what it would be like to try to evacuate all those people by air in the dark. So there may be good reasons for the hospital officials to wait as long as they can.

Why would they have to evacuate in the dark. It doesn't sound from what I read in the posts here that the building structure is at risk of collapsing. They can move everyone to higher floors and take a couple days to evacuate them all. Only those with critical medical conditions would be in any hurry.
Or am I missing something?
