So we were actually in Florida when the storm hit.
We pre-positioned in Tallahassee.
Our organization linked up with John's Florida State Guard folks.
We rode the storm out in a parking garage and then quickly moved into Perry, Florida, and then Steinhatchee.
A pretty rundown...
You know, a town of not very well-built structures.
So you know no one had insurance.
You know everything they have is gone with that storm.
We worked hand in hand with the local law enforcement, the firefighters.
At one point, we were leapfrogging the firefighters to clear the road to get from Perry to Steenhatchee.
It was a great operation down there in the fact that everybody worked very, very well together.
Information was shared, resources were shared.
You know, we were working hand in hand with the officials there.
And the National Guard folks were there.
They were.
Absolutely.
And God bless them.
They're doing their best.
They're just not trained.
They're not trained.
