"Amid the chaos and devastation of Cyclone Yasi, a yet-to-be named baby girl has been born at a Cairns evacuation centre. Akiko Pruss went into labour at the evacuation centre at Redlynch State College at 2.45am Australian Eastern Standard Time. The baby girl was delivered healthy at 6.09am after a three-hour labour. Akiko and her German husband Christian, live in Cairns, and the baby will be their second child.... there were no scales equipment at the evacuation centre to weigh the newborn. English midwife Carol and her husband Andrew Weeks, who are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary on holidays in Cairns, delivered the baby. Ms Pruss gave birth in the first aid room of the college and was supported by her mother, who had travelled from Japan to be with her."
