Hospital Evacuated

Rampaging Boggy Creek, (lowerpart of photo) flooded St. Mary's Hospital in Enid, Okla., (right center) and park at left after a 16-inch downpour Wednesday night, forcing evacuation of the hospital. The hospital, six blocks from the town square, lost its medical supplies and electricity when water rose to a foot high on the first floor. Seventy-five or more cars in parking lots around the hospital were swept away into the creek and park and some were found several blocks away. Four fatalities were confirmed and several people are still unaccounted for as search and cleanup operations continued in the stricken city where damages are expected to run into the millions.
