That's the upside, if there can be any upside, of a disaster like this. Neighbors come out and help and get to know each other like neighbors used to in the old days. In the aftermath of Katrina (no power for 12 days) we got to know our neighbors even better. Someone brought us water, MREs, and everyone's chain saws were buzzing. Everybody was passing out meat from their freezers, hoping to share it before it had to be thrown out. Big cookouts were happening! Even tho the circumstances were awful, some beautiful memories were made.
