The storm damaged Kokomo area facilities with over 100 casualties brought to Howard Community Hospital. Staff worked an hour and ten minutes without power using flashlight aid and private cars and ambulances to triage injuries. Victims from Hank's Supermarket, Greentown, Aito, Troi homes, and bypass wrecks filled halls as nurses and doctors treated lacerations and fractures. Residents recalled warehouse and storefront collapses and trapped shoppers, including Mr. and Mrs. Morgan trapped beneath a collapsed meat counter.

Nighttime at St. Joseph hospital after mass casualty incident
Nurses, sisters, doctors and medical staff worked quietly but quickly to treat the worst injuries first, then move to less severe cases as time allowed. For more than three hours emergency vehicles and friends rushed in casualties faster than treatment could keep up. Operations slowed near midnight as the steady stream of flashing lights diminished.
