Hurricane Ian: Roof of ICU unit at hospital with 160 patients blew off mid-storm

Voice of: Dr. Birgit Bodine, Internal Medicine specialist at a Port Charlotte hospital: "Oh, it's actually pretty terrible, I'm actually still in the hospital, we still have not been able to leave, and we typically don't. We knew, being in Florida, of course, that these storms can be pretty bad, however, we weren't quite expecting it to be this bad. We'll typically plan and have a bunch of us doctors and nurses and other staff members sleep in the hospital so here unfortunately today we had about 160 patients in house and our roof blew off, part of the roof on the ICU.”
