“We talk at our hospital about doing drills. I’ve got to tell you our staff was courageous,” said David Flicek, the president and CEO of Avera McKennan Hospital and University Health Center. “We had 10 minutes to wake up 102 residents, get them to the center of the building and all are safe and sound.”Nick Gibbs, CEO of Avera Heart Hospital, said one patient had a “severe cardiac event” as the storm threatened that facility, but doctors saved his life.
Mayor Paul TenHaken said officials have received no reports of deaths in the city, and that they had been “fortunate to not have any serious injuries.” The Red Cross opened a shelter at the Sioux Empire Fairgrounds’ armory for people displaced by the storm. The city of about 190,000 people lies about 240 miles southwest of Minneapolis.
