This afternoon, a woman gave birth to a baby girl in a Richmond Red Cross shelter. The mom, Sarah, said she knew she was getting close to labor when she heard the hurricane was headed to Virginia. 
She didn’t expect she would need to evacuate in Richmond, but when she heard Hurricane Harriet took a turn to the north, she quickly packed her hospital bag and other necessities and left for the shelter. A group of volunteers trained in First Aid assisted in the delivery of a beautiful baby girl. Sarah decided there couldn’t be a more appropriate name than Harriet. In the midst of a devastating storm, there is hope in Red Cross shelters around the state. Baby Harriet is being well cared for by the community at this Richmond shelter.
