More than 100 patients are being transferred from Brooklyn’s Woodhull Hospital to other facilities Saturday after the hospital lost power from Friday's torrential rains, officials said.

New York City Health + Hospitals, the city’s public hospital system, announced the facility lost power Friday and had to switch to a backup generator. The utility company Con Edison said the hospital would have to shut down that generator too in order to make repairs, which could take several days.

Actually, a lot of these patients were "transferred" to the street, without notification to their families, lest they be "upset" by the City discharging their loved ones from the hospital's psychiatric care facility, without notice, onto the streets of Brooklyn.

Meanwhile, all the doctors AND nurses had fled the facility, with NYPD handling the discharges. One eyewitness was told "the only patients who would be allowed to stay are those who killed somebody."
