A severe storm in Kearney, Neb., flooded Good Samaritan Hospital’s basement and other areas of its main building, according to an article on the Omaha.com website.
Flash flooding overwhelmed the city’s storm sewer system and broke through the two-story ground-to-ceiling windows of the dining room at Good Samaritan’s Central Cafe, according to the hospital.
The kitchen, dining room, some patient hallways and other areas such as sterile processing were flooded. The hospital is ensuring that damaged areas are safe for patient care, said Marsha Wilkerson, a hospital spokeswoman.
While cleanup is underway, a plan is in place to get food to patients and staff. Foot traffic is being limited in portions of the building, and detours are marked where necessary.
