The majority of the people stranded on a Tennessee hospital roof on Friday have been rescued, according to Michael Baker, alderman of Erwin, Tennessee. The town is located just over 40 miles north of Asheville, North Carolina, where the Unicoi County Hospital is situated.
Initially, 54 individuals, including patients, found themselves stranded on the hospital roof due to rapidly rising waters from Hurricane Helene, which made evacuation impossible on Friday morning. Ballad Health had issued a statement earlier regarding the situation.
