Amongst all the tragedy surrounding Hurricane Harvey, good samaritans are also stepping up to do the right thing. 

KTRK’s News reporter, Chauncy Glover was covering the storm Monday afternoon when he dropped everything he was doing to help a woman who had gone into labor. “Someone was running up, screaming and yelling, ‘Hey, my sister’s in labor, my sister’s in labor,’” he reported live. “I left my mic behind. At this time, it’s not about news stories, and you see that she needs help.”
Chauncy explained that he and the KTRK team were originally trying to help an 89-year-old man who had just undergone open heart surgery into an ambulance when he heard the woman screaming. “I got her out of the house. I was able to get her feeling comfortable, making sure she’s breathing,” Glover said. “There was no way the ambulance was getting to her house to get her out of there. There’s deep water.”

Glover credits his quick thinking to his mother who showed him how to care for pregnant women. “My mom taught me to try to get her in a good comfortable position and out of the house,” Glover said.
Once the woman in labor was more stable, the news team were able to get her into a public works van where she was then transported to Texas Women’s Hospital. 

Due to the overwhelming magnitude of Hurricane Harvey, we are unsure of the condition of the mother and her baby.
