Hurricane baby born after parents flee NC
NORTH CAROLINA (FOX 46 WJZY) – A North Carolina family evacuated their home with a baby on the way.
The couple headed to Pennsylvania just one day before the mother’s due date. As soon as they got there the contractions started and it was off to the hospital.
“[It was] really scary knowing that we were expecting a baby really any minute, and potentially unable to get to the hospital, or left without electricity for days and days with a newborn,” new mother, Rachel English said.
