Apparently when water breaks, it pours.
At least that's what happened to an expectant mother who had to deliver her baby amidst Houston's major flood this week. Luckily, she had a very determined midwife.
On April 18, midwife Cathy Allen Rude's street was filled with rainwater, but she needed to get to the laboring woman at her clinic in Houston, Texas. So, the heroic midwife did what she could to get across her street and to her client.
She rode an inflatable swan through the flood.

A neighbor passed by her on a large, floating swan -- the type that became famous thanks to Taylor Swift -- and agreed to lend it to the midwife in need, according to The Wichita Eagle.
Rude used the swan float to haul her stuff -- and herself -- to the end of the street, where a pickup truck waited to drive her to the clinic.
Thanks to the floatie, Rude arrived in time for the birth of a healthy, nine-pound 12-ounce baby boy.
Glad that birth didn't take a flood-related swan dive.
