Health care workers brave historic Texas storm to help deliver baby WABC Share: AUSTIN, Texas (WABC) -- Health care workers in Texas braved the dangerous storm for a very special newborn. Kimberly Arias was 24 weeks pregnant when she walked into a suburban Austin medical center, complaining of contractions. But rolling blackouts caused by winter storms rendered the staff's electrical equipment virtually useless. Arias gave birth, but the poor weather conditions prevented her from being transferred to another hospital with a specialized NICU. A doctor and two nurses answered the call and drove more than two hours on icy roads with life-saving equipment to help 1-pound, 6-ounce Zaylynn.
