Latest from CNN from the mayor of Pensacola via phone.

Pensacola's hospital hit by tornado.
Civic center (evacuation shelter) taken damage.
His EOC building is "leaking like crazy"
Numerous reports of damage

He sounded very shaken.

They just had the mayor of Pensacola on CNN and they just kept saying "one of the hospitals"...and that the roof was pulled off

I'm trying to figure which one as well: West Florida, Sacred Heart, Baptist, or some smaller facility? And how much of the roof?

Isn't there also a Navy Hospital? That would be most likely be in eyewall right now.

I heard that Navy Hospital had windows blown out. And whent he person was on the phone from West Fl Hospital, it sounded like she was trying to say they had windows blown out but didn't have a tornado.

Needless to say, I'm confused. THey will no doubt sort it out now that the winds are starting to die down a little and they have daylight.
