<v Speaker 2>four o'clock and good afternoon. I'm Madison Rodgers. Here's what's happening.

4

<v Speaker 2>The state's largest hospital system suspends elective procedures due to

5
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:27.320
<v Speaker 2>a nationwide shortage of IV fluids in the wake of

6
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Hurricane Helene. Mass General Brigham made that announcement, postponing non

7
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:36.280

9
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.560
<v Speaker 2>leaving official scrambling to find solutions and a statement. Mass

10
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.799
<v Speaker 2>General Brigham says, we don't know when our supply will improve,

11
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:50.280
<v Speaker 2>but they are closely monitoring the situation to I'm sure

12
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 2>they can return to normal operations as soon as possible.

13
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:57.560
<v Speaker 2>The hospitals are reaching out to impacted patients. In Florida,

00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.159
<v Speaker 2>the death toll from Hurricane Milton has now risen to

15
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.520
<v Speaker 2>at least twenty three people. Residents along the Gulf Coast

16
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.760
<v Speaker 2>are returning to what's left of their homes. ABC's Jaqueline

<v Speaker 2>Lee is outside.

18

<v Speaker 3>Resident Christy Austin recalling the strong impact of Hurricane Milton,

21
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.319
<v Speaker 3>along with the pounding wind and rain that flooded her apartment.

22
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:26.079
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I thought the windows were going to blow and

23
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:28.519
<v Speaker 1>that they might cut us in.

24
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:29.599
<v Speaker 4>My go up.

25
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.200
<v Speaker 3>The category three storm, claiming at least sixteen lives and

26
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:35.159
<v Speaker 3>spawning a deadly tornado out.

27
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Break, FEMA Administrator Dan chris Well is making a plea

28
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:39.959
<v Speaker 2>to Congress for more funds.

29
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.400
<v Speaker 5>Chris Well says FEMA has enough money to support the

30
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.239
<v Speaker 5>immediate needs for everyone impacted by Helena and Milton, but

31
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:48.040
<v Speaker 5>that the eventual need for supplemental funding from Congress is

32
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:51.319
<v Speaker 5>quote just a matter of when. Compounding the issue staffing shortages,

33
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.400
<v Speaker 5>sources tele ABC News. During the storm's only nine percent

34
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.239
<v Speaker 5>of FEMA's personnel were available to respond to any other

35
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.319
<v Speaker 5>disaster that could occur, and now the Small Business Administration

36
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.519
<v Speaker 5>is echoing the calls for more funding, saying new disaster

37
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.200
<v Speaker 5>loans are in jeopardy without Congress's.

38
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Health ABC's at Christian Cordero reports frustration and flooding in

39
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 2>a South End neighborhood after the second water main break

40
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:18.439
<v Speaker 2>in two weeks. The break has since been repaired. WBZTV's

41
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Beth Germano tells us the impacts will continue.

42
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.199
<v Speaker 4>Deep into Tremont Street. Crews were working amid the mud

43
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:27.759
<v Speaker 4>and muck a one hundred and fifty year old water

44
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.919
<v Speaker 4>main with the sizeable crack all down its side, and

45
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 4>neighbor Teresa Blevin's was more than frustrated.

46
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.199
<v Speaker 6>The mess disgusting. The noise is disgusting as well.

47
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:40.879
<v Speaker 4>The break sent water flooding into Tremont Street near Mass Half,

48
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 4>nearly swallowing some nearby vehicles, while crews slogging through the

49
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.759
<v Speaker 4>water feverishly tried to stop the flow. This basement art

50
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.479
<v Speaker 4>gallery was the biggest victim, with mud piled up to

51
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:53.960
<v Speaker 4>its door.

52
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:55.199
<v Speaker 7>It's just pretty hardbreaking.

53
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:59.240
<v Speaker 4>Water filling the Piano Craft Gallery that's a non profit

54
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.479
<v Speaker 4>community space for local artists, damaging artwork that was stored

55
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:07.560
<v Speaker 4>and now requiring walls, furniture, all to be replaced at

56
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:11.319
<v Speaker 4>a cost that volunteers like artist Kamala Maud cannot afford.

57
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.680
<v Speaker 6>You Having something like that all of a sudden has

58
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.719
<v Speaker 6>really impaired the gallery in financially on in the community

59
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 6>side too.

60
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 2>The gallery is being forced to cancel shows through the

61
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.120
