 I got a call at about 10 minutes to five this morning. It was Mr. Sabaro, he's one of our pilots. He called to let us know that we were activated for the hurricane. They need to help picking people that were stranded in their cars. Staff Sergeant Michael Toth with the first of the 171st New Jersey Medivac. It actually went really fast because I live about an hour away. We were in the air about an hour and 20, an hour and 30 minutes after I got my call. We knew we were gonna need a hoist and we only had crew for one hoist aircraft. So there were five of us, two pilots, two crew chiefs, and I was the medic in the back. They sent us to Somerset, New Jersey, or that area. Immediately we were in on location for more than four or five minutes. And we saw multiple cars that were in the water, rapid moving water. There was no way to get a boat or anything else to them. So we hooked up. We have an external hoist on the aircraft. It was a little tricky because you got to get me on top of a car. When we normally practice between 50 and 100 feet, but because of the downwash it was affecting people in the car. We were at about 140, 150 feet. So it's quite a ride. They hoist me down. They got to get me on the car. I dropped the seat. They get on the seat. I strapped them to the seat and we bring them back up to the aircraft. So we would land. I'd walk them out of the aircraft, turn them over to the ambulance crew, and we'd go back and get more. We picked up five with the hoist and we picked up four from a bridge by landing on the bridge. They were just ecstatic that we were there to get them and we were ecstatic to go get them. It's what you go into the National Guard for.
