Daniel was very worried that she could not get medical care because of the hurricane. Therefore, she and her husband Nicholas saw two scenarios: to give birth to twins in the midst of a hurricane, or to move to St. Augustine, Florida, where their parents live, as soon as possible. And they decided to go south, wrote CBS News.

“The journey was very nerve-wracking,” says Nicholas. “But it also brought relief as we got closer to home.”

Usually such a journey took them eight hours. This time they rode twelve.

“When we got in the car, I was praying that we would make the right choice, that everything would just fall into place, that it would be safe, and that our kids would be okay,” Danielle admits.

Children were born less than 24 hours after arriving in St. Augustine. Shortly after the start of bouts, two girls, Scarlett and Sadie Digregorio, were born, twins who had already experienced their first storm in their lives.

“They were going to give birth on September 18, but they were born a week earlier,” says Daniel. — The doctor thinks it’s because of the hurricane. But I have a feeling it was the lasagna I ate that night. Who knows what it is... I think they were just ready to come into the world.”

And they were born, surrounded by a loving family, which would not be near, stay a couple at a military base in the middle of a hurricane.

"I got to be a part of all of this, so I just feel overwhelmed and blessed," Danielle's mom Dana said.

“It changed my life a little, but I wouldn’t change anything,” says Danielle.
