On Wednesday, February 12, most of Atlanta woke up to ice and snow. But, Nikole woke up in labor. Worried about icy roads, Nikole called the help desk at local TV station, 11Alive, to see if they could give her any insight to the safest route to take to Emory University Hospital Midtown. There, she was connected to multimedia journalist Julie Wolfe. Julie was able to get up-to-the-minute information on road conditions from the station’s traffic reporter. With the expert traffic report and chains on their tires, Nikole and her husband made the trek to Emory University Hospital Midtown, where she gave birth to their baby boy, Luke.
In this 11Alive clip, watch the story of Luke’s snowy and dramatic arrival at Emory University Hospital Midtown.
