(WKYT) &#8211; A southern Kentucky hospital treated more than 100 people after the tornado Friday night into Saturday morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">CHI St. Joseph London saw a surge of people in the hours after the deadly tornado.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">One person passed away there, but most were treated and released. We\u2019re told 11 were sent to other hospitals and four were admitted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">One woman who was treated there initially is now in intensive care at UK Hospital. Her family says it\u2019s a miracle she survived being thrown from her home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cYou know, I am sure she doesn\u2019t even know what happened,\u201d says her son, Will Wolfe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Wolfe\u2019s mother, Virginia, suffered numerous serious injuries.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1747779311_472_7Q22NG66SFG4BCCZJFMQ43MG6E.jpg\" width=\"980\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cA chest contusion, a head injury, ending up having a brain bleed, possible broken ribs,\u201d Wolfe said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">She\u2019s among the 83 people who were rushed to the London Hospital in the hours after the twister, and over the course of the weekend, more than 100 sought care. They got there in whatever way they could.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cOur first notification of the damage was individuals coming in their personal cars before EMS was able to mobilize to begin rescues,\u201d said Dr. Shelley Stanko of CHI St. Joseph.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Dr. Stanko says they treated everyone from infants to the elderly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cWe were prepared. I would describe the environment as intense but calm. Everyone understood what they needed to do,\u201d said Hospital President John Yanes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The foundation of Virginia Wolfe\u2019s home is all that\u2019s left. Everything else is in a nearby debris pile. Her son says she landed in a field, in a completely opposite direction of where the home ended up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Her son firmly believes a first responder saved her life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cShe was found by a state trooper. Transported to St. Joseph London,\u201d said Wolfe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Her home is gone, along with many of her neighbors, leaving them with questions without answers. And finding the right words just isn\u2019t possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cIt\u2019s hard to explain. This is what you see on TV. You don\u2019t expect it to happen to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Wolfe says he wants to find the state trooper who found his mother. Her home is in the Sunshine Hills neighborhood, but she was found behind that area on Caden Lane.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2025 WKYT.
