THUNDERSTORMS CAUSE NURSING HOME ROOF COLLAPSE, RESIDENTS EVACUATED
When inclement weather strikes, emergency planning becomes critical. When a Florida nursing home’s roof collapsed, 117 residents had to be evacuated quickly. Luckily, because of proactive preparedness measures no one was injured.
“When Pass saw the roof collapsing at the nursing home, all she could think about was her godmother, who lives in the room where a tree came crashing through.”
