Wind gusting to 70 mph and hail the size of baseballs pounded the Texas Panhandle, smashing almost all of the windows on one end of a six-story hospital, where one patient was injured by flying glass. 
"It blew out the lobby. The windows are shattered. They blew in on the patients," said Mary Barlow, a spokeswoman for Baptist St. Anthony‘s Hospital in Amarillo. 

About 30 rooms in the 410-bed hospital were affected by Monday evening‘s storm in the Amarillo area and about 100 patients had to be moved to other rooms. Barlow said the hospital‘s neonatal intensive care unit was hit and about a dozen babies had to be moved to the regular newborn nursery. (Related maps: Thunderstorm outlook; severe weather alerts). 

"One patient had a gash to his leg from flying glass," Barlow said.
