Woman Delivers Her Own Baby At Home While Stuck In Hurricane Irma

A Miami woman was in a situation she probably never thought would happen. While she was in labor, Hurricane Irma was hitting their town making it hard for rescuers to get to her. 

Because dispatch/rescue workers couldn't safely make it to the scene, she stayed on the phone with a doctor and other rescue workers who talked her through a home delivery.

Thankfully the woman and baby are both healthy and now at Jackson hospital. Happy news despite tragic weather conditions.

Great work to all workers and the woman for their courage!
