I disagree, I'm from there. They built the hospital on a well known flood plain and we all knew this would happen with the first BIG flood.

National Guard or any government entity cannot prevent you from filming them.

[@Mariachi4Life]

But they can cordon an area which would prevent you from getting close enough to film

[@bjbrtn5644]

National Guard are citizen volunteers, if they don't want photographed for whatever reason, leave them alone. Why do you care?

They just don't want to be filmed while taking people off that roof and a lot of that could be for the privacy of the patients. I'm sure those who are sick don't want to be on the damned news over this. I wouldn't either.
