The Day I was Born
Hurricane CamilleMy mom was due to give birth to me and a hurricane was brewing in the Gulf. Mom's doctor ordered her to the hospital because she lived almost 25 miles from the nearest hospital. Hurricanes come in and the barametric pressure drops. When the pressure drops women go into labor. My mom was due to have me on August 20th. On the morning of August 13th my mom went to the hospital. -
