The dr. I heard last night commented that their generator was in the basement.

Why the hell would they put their emergency generator in their basement in one of the countries worst flood zones?

Yeah, that is why I hope other hospitals are reviewing their situations as a result. This dr. was pretty beat up after the ordeal.

Houston Medical Center also did that (generators in the basement) and suffered enormously during a flood a few years back. Lost MRI and other expensive medical equipment, years of medical research, had to move patients on stretchers down darkened stairwells. It was abysmal. It cost a fortune to repair. Medical waste was floating around like in NO right now.
