No one was like, I'm the leader here.

And even with Ariel, we were able to work with them and just put the boats in the water and go look for people.
Because the water level in Stein Hatch was high.
When we got there at first light, it was probably, what, at least chest deep in most places of water.
So we were either going out by foot or we were going by boat.
But you could see the water line on some of these houses.
It was like 11 feet.
It was really, really high.
When did that get established?
This year.
January?
Pretty much this year.
So they started the State Guard about two years ago.
And then DeSantis, Governor DeSantis basically wanted his own like JSOC unit for the state.
And then we did the first selection class last October.
And then the last class was in January.
So it literally just got put together.
