Branson hospital treated 33 people after tornado

BRANSON, Mo. -- A hospital in Branson treated 33 people in the hours after a tornado hit the tourist destination.

A spokeswoman for Skaggs Regional Medical Center says most of those treated early Wednesday suffered only cuts and bruises.

One person who was injured when a roof collapsed was transferred to a Springfield hospital.

Spokeswoman Michelle Leroux (LA-roo) says the hospital's urgent care department treated four people for minor injuries.

The hospital was not damaged. Leroux says power was out at two non-clinical buildings but otherwise the hospital is operating. - http://goo.gl/kXA6b
