Their mother, Jessica Polster, told The Florida Times-Union she and her husband had planned to stay home during the storm. But during an appointment Thursday morning, the doctor told her she was in labor and sent them to the hospital.
Her due date was Oct. 19.
Husband Anthony Polster ran home to prepare their house for the hurricane. Hours later, the twins were born via cesarean section.
As the hurricane approached, the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit was evacuated to higher floors at an adjoining hospital.
Mom was expecting to go home Monday. The twins will stay in ICU until they get bigger.
