Sometimes miracles happen even during a hurricane.

For any of you who don't know, I live in south west Florida. We were recently hit by hurricane Ian. A lady we go to church with was pregnant. Her and her husband were planning to stay home and ride it out. She was kind of happy for the distraction of the hurricane as her due date was approaching. Something to take her mind off the pregnancy. On the day of the hurricane just as it was starting God had other plans for her. Her water broke and it was time! Her husband loaded her into the car and off they went. She was to far along to make it to the hospital they had planned on, but fortunately there was a brand new hospital half way to the one she had planned on using. She was frantically praying that she didn't give birth on the side of the highway in a hurricane. They wheeled into the new hospital, which had just opened six months prior and had been built to the latest hurricane standards. The staff rushed out with a wheelchair and barley got her to the delivery suite when out he came. They were the last people admitted to the hospital before the doors were closed and locked as Ian bore down on them. Since the hospital had been built to the latest hurricane standards they had a birdseye view of it with all of it's destruction. When Ian finally passed the hospital finally discharged them so they could go home. Now remember back in the beginning where they had planned to ride out hurricane Ian at home? When they got home all of the windows had blown in. The ceiling had collapsed and Ian had a free hand at raining in the house. The house is trashed. The structure is concrete block and in good shape, but the rest of the house will have to be gutted and rebuilt. Ladies could you imagine being late along in your pregnancy and being in the house with the windows blowing in and the ceiling collapsing on you? God is great! He knew that was going to happen and he got them out of there just in time. Praise be to God 🙏

One of my sister's was born during a hurricane.... On my mom's birthday. Wee had just sang the tune and just as she was about to blow the candles, that last big breath was followed with "I gotta go! The candles still lit.

Her middle name is a rendition of the name of the hurricane with a nicer ending.
