The Auckland mum who welcomed a new bonny wee boy into the world after a tornado struck the ambulance she was in says she feared for her life.
A second ambulance arrived five or 10 minutes later and Bishop, accompanied by her partner Toks Ngau's mother Vaine Tapora, was taken first to Middlemore Hospital and later to a birth care unit.
About 3pm, the couple's little boy arrived safely.
Bishop told One News she had needed a caesarean section because her stressed baby boy had turned to his side during the ordeal.
