A tornado destroyed schools, businesses, and homes in the Dallas area on Sunday night, Oct. 20. But amid the devastation, a remarkable story unfolded.
CNN reports that a pregnant woman came into a birthing center in Rowlett, east of Dallas. The center’s owner said later, “It was a beautiful day outside, nothing to worry about. Then around 10 p.m., or a little before, it was time for her to start pushing and our phones all started going off saying there is a tornado near us.”
The power went out as tornado sirens went off. The staff quickly took the mother into their laundry room, which they determined to be the safest room in their facility. There they helped her deliver a baby girl by candlelight.
Both the girl and her mother are doing well.
