Peyton Hillis said he began thinking 'Lord, please. Like, I really don't care about my life. I don't. But if we can get him out of here that's the only thing I'm going to care about.'

"We woke up and the kids were all going crazy, and I was telling my family, 'I'm gonna take the kids down, you know, let 'em play at the beach,'" said Hillis. "The night before it was a bad storm, but you know, I didn't really pay too much attention to it and when I woke up the next morning it was windy but it was beautiful.
"I think the scariest point ... was when I'm swimming to my son and I have to pass by him because my niece is in more danger," Hillis said. "I knew that I had to pass him up to get to Camille first. Because, you know, if I didn't then there's no way she would've made it." In the moment, Hillis said he began thinking "Lord, please. Like, I really don't care about my life. I don't. But if we can get him out of here that's the only thing I'm going to care about."
"To their credit, I mean, they all act like everything was normal, everything was fine, which calmed me down... I couldn't move. I mean, I couldn't move my body," said Hillis.
