But she never said 1k people the only number she stated was the 90 from the other hospital.




It is now about 2:40 AM in New Orleans. I'm not sure when this was first broadcast but I just heard the Tulane VP. She clearly said the water was rising an inch every 5 minutes, the hospital was now surrounded by 6 ft of water, there were 1000 people in the hospital and they were considering the evacuation of all of them. I am attaching a map of the location of Tulane Medical Center. For anyone familiar with New Orleans, this is frightening because this facility is not only very near the superdome but also the heart of New Olreans including the French Quarter and CBD.
