As floodwaters ripped through Tennessee, patients and staff members at a hospital were left stranded on a roof as floodwaters surrounded the medical center. More than 50 people were left stranded on the roof of Unicoi County Hospital as floodwaters raged around the facility. The patients and personnel at the hospital have since been rescued, according to Senator Bill Hagerty. Sen. Hagerty wrote in a post on X, “Everyone has been rescued safely from the roof of Unicoi County Hospital in Erwin. More trouble is on the horizon for East Tennessee communities. Please stay safe, and thank you for your prayers!” WJHL reported the patients and personnel were airlifted off the roof by the Highlands Emergency Air Rescue & Transport (HEART) helicopter team, which worked alongside the Tennessee National Guard. WATCH: https://twitter.com/i/status/1839791450458075468 Per ABC News: At least 54 people were trapped on the roof of a hospital in Tennessee on Friday after floodwaters due to Hurricane Helene quickly surrounded the medical center. Everyone was rescued safely, Sen. Bill Hagerty said in a statement. Unicoi County Hospital — located in the northeastern part of the state on the border with North Carolina — took on so much flooding that those inside could no longer be safely evacuated and had to relocate to the roof. In addition to the people trapped on the roof, seven people were in rescue boats. The National Guard and the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) are currently engaged in “a dangerous rescue operation,” according to Ballad Health, a health care company that runs a chain of hospitals. Poster Comment: I live at the other end of the state. It has been raining here for the past 24 hours. Rain is forecasted through Tuesday. I want to move to a rural area in East Tennessee where a group of people can grow our own food while forming a survival network. I expect Nationwide Food Riots in 2025.
