Shenandoah, somewhere

Iowa has not one but TWO stories about babies in a blizzard:

In western Marshall County, a sheriff’s deputy walked half a mile through the snow to assist with a delivery at a farmhouse. The Marshalltown Times-Republican has a clinical recap (although, since this was a home birth, not that clinical!) and Radio Iowa has a more detailed story.

In Shenandoah, the doctor drove his ATV to the hospital and even parked in his assigned spot. KMTV has that story.

Shenandoah got picked up by ABC News, only for David Muir to say that the town is northwest of Des Moines rather than southwest.

It’s not like the national and world media have any reason to have Iowa geography at the forefront of their minds now, right? (Let’s watch Steve Kornacki play with a map!)
