Wow! Good Deal! Great you were there. It's always freaky when shit happens and YOU are the only one around. You're definitely a hero!
RE: Rural living. I've loved rural living in the past but something has changed me to make it harder now as a choice. Your example of no police/fire guys having tools, jaws of life, etc. is prime of my paranoid feelings now. If I lived in the country now, I would need two of every damn thing to feel comfortable. As it is now I HAVE the homeland security package in a closet. Tons of tools, all kinds of emergency gadgets, flashlights and swiss army knives everywhere, a generator, blowtorch, a trunk of camping gear AND dehydated food, just tons of stuff. Most of it in my storage area and some more in a garage I rent. Thing is I live on the top floor of a big city skyscaper and I know I'll probably never need or use any of it and am just being stupid. I don't think I couldn't afford rural anymore my sheds would be bigger than the house and I'd constantly be buying plans for hurricane, flood, an bomb shelters. Jeesh!
