Horrifying moment wave crashes into hospital

The moment a wave of water crashed into a hospital in the US has been caught on camera.

The Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney, Nebraska released CCTV footage showing the wall of water engulf an empty emergency room.

On its Facebook page the hospital wrote: "It's hard to put into words exactly what Saturday's conditions were like and just how seriously our facility was impacted. And to say that we're emotional about the whole situation is a bit of an understatement.

"This security camera footage is just a glimpse into the series of events that unfolded Saturday. Again, we're so relieved that no patients, staff or physicians were injured in this incident."

The hospital added that all patient services have since been restored.

The town of Kearney received nearly 10 centimetres of rain over the weekend overwhelming the city's sewerage system.
