Several hospitals were short of power supply after the storm in Louisville. Dr. Neil Richmond, director of EMS, said no deaths were reported in Louisville and no one was hospitalized. However there were 76 calls for medical assistance between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Many were injured due to falling trees. Jewish hospital was treating some trauma patients as well as patients with less serious injuries suffered in the storm.

St. Mary and Elizabeth Hospital was operating with a generator. Some patients came to the hospitals needing oxygen because they couldn't operate oxygen machines at home. Emergency officials urged those with oxygen needs or other home life support equipment to contact their suppliers' emergency numbers for assistance as they prepare for several days without power. Twinbrook Nursing Home on Lowe Road was among those without power. The facility was relying on a generator.
