Norwood Hospital released new surveillance footage Wednesday of the flash flood that slammed the facility in late June.
The video shows a wall of rainwater slowly pushing its way between a pair of exit doors. The flood forces one of the doors backwards before tearing them both completely off the hinge. The torrent appears to flood the hallway at least waist deep.
Over 5 inches of rain hit the hospital on Sunday, June 28. The flood caused a power outage and partially submerged cars in the parking lot. Dozens of patients had to evacuate, but no one was injured. The hospital remains closed over two months later as repairs continue.
New video from inside Norwood Hospital back in late June shows the unbelievable flooding described as something straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster.
The force of the water was strong enough to bust open emergency exit doors.
