One Family’s Experience with Disaster when the Floods Came

[GilpinGuy]

Excellent read.

What a crazy time. Those floods and one reverse 911 call to "prepare to evacuate" due to a fire 1/4 mile from our house really stepped up my game. That call and the smell of smoke in the air got my juices flowing and I realized how woefully unprepared we were (I really thought we were good to go if need be....not even close). Better now, but still working on it. Always.

It's so easy to forget and get lazy.

Did they call you on your cell or did you have a land-line?

It was on the cell - we have no land line. The cell numbers are what we have listed for the emergency notification system.
