A woman named Amanda Anderson went to a hospital near Charlotte, North Carolina last Thursday night, to give birth.
But they sent her home, because she wasn’t ready yet. Which was a problem, because she knew Winter Storm Jonas was supposed to hit overnight. And sure enough, she went into labor at home right in the middle of it.
Now, North Carolina didn’t get as much snow as the northeast did. But some spots had over a foot, and there was also freezing rain. So the roads were in pretty bad shape.
And Amanda was worried that if her husband tried to drive her to the hospital, they might crash or end up stranded in their car. So they called 911. But they didn’t even know if an ambulance could get to THEM.
Luckily the paramedics got through the storm, and made it there JUST in time to deliver the baby. Which her husband was pretty happy about, because he almost fainted near the end of it.
Then the paramedics took Amanda and her new daughter back to the hospital, and they’re both doing great.
