Yeah, I think were looking at EF4 damage by the looks of it, just my opinion....that neighborhood near the Medical Center is just demolished. They are still pulling people from the rubble on stretchers and people are still trying to locate family and neighbors on what I believe is 26th St and that entire neighborhood. I would say, from what I've seen I don't think the top 3 floors are gone off the Medical Center....it doesn't appear that way anyway but there was strong damage to the Medical Center and a fire which they are hoping to contain before explosion.
