The death toll reached 64 on Thursday and 76 people are still considered missing.
As part two of the mission begins, WINK News spoke to the people fueling the recovery effort.

The Task Force 8 members left Ocala on June 27 and traveled in vans with several support vehicles to the disaster site. The team returned July 4 to the Marion County Fire Rescue Operations Center east of Ocala to the cheers of waiting family members, some honking car horns and holding signs.
