00:00Literally the house is falling down around me while they were trying to rescue me.
00:08We weren't necessarily a hard-hit area. We had a lot of trees down, but we, you know,
00:12unfortunately our incident was, you know, kind of a fluke. Like I said, it was lots of down,
00:17but we weren't a hard-hit community overall, so it was kind of a
00:22kind of an oddball, you know, situation that we found ourselves in.
00:30I was sound asleep and I remember the same incident that I was coherent out of sleep.
00:40I heard the crash and felt, you know, all the, you know, just debris and the tree,
00:46the weight of the tree. So when I woke up, it was already over for me. You know, I didn't have any
00:51hope until about 7.45, the last 15 minutes of the rescue when they started lifting the tree and
00:56giving me some relief finally and getting and pulling stuff off me. That's the first time that
01:01I thought that I might actually make it out. I just remember it was, I've been sweating because
01:05I, you know, I was in a dense little box. I've been sweating, sweating. Started feeling the
01:08rain a little bit and I was like, this is the absolute best feeling ever is that rain just
01:13hitting my face. It got my body out. I could feel it all over my body and yeah, they put me in some
01:19kind of, you know, a helicopter lowers down, they put a body in it or something. Apparently I was
01:24like swinging. I mean, I knew I was swinging because it was still a gust of 50 to 60 mile
01:28per hour winds. But as soon as they got me into that and they were like moving me around, I knew
01:33that like, hey, I am in immense pain right now, but you know, I'm out and I'll be okay. Whether
01:40I got some broken bones and surgeries later, I think I'll be all right.
