Excellent points by a lot of people.
It took me awhile for the point about her cellphone to register with me, but that is a very good point!!! With the way current cell phones work so well these days, we use them as a phone directory to just scroll down to the person, then "hit SEND". Most of us do not pay much attention to the actual phone numbers anymore, but we pay more attention to how we enter the person's name or contact in our phones. She would have needed that phone to go through all her contacts. Most of us would probably only be able to call just a few people without our phone handy.
And great points by Houndstooth. It has always bothered me how so many people managed to just drop what they were doing and arrive there that morning so quickly. Small town or not, it is very hard to fathom so many people being able to literally drop what they were doing and arrive at their house. Some sure......but hundreds? It is truly incredible.
I have thought how many people I could get to come help me in a similar situation, and I would be lucky to get 5-10 non-family members (if that much) to drop what they were doing to come over to help.
