Hurricane Florence sees its tiniest evacuees flown to safety as storm pounds Wilmington
Reports state that the premature newborns, who belong to two different families, were being taken care of by the New Hanover Regional Hospital in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Hurricane Florence on Friday saw its tiniest evacuees attempting to escape the direct hit of the deadly storm — two premature babies, a boy, and a girl, both born at just over a pound.
Reports state that the premature newborns, who belong to two different families, were being taken care of by the New Hanover Regional Hospital in Wilmington, North Carolina, earlier this week.
As the dangerous hurricane appeached the coastal city, the doctors coordinated with crews at Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte, which is nearly 200 miles inland, in an effort to get both the babies moved far away from the eye of the storm and to safety.
