During the last hurricane, thousands of cars were trying to escape
through the small town in east Texas where I live. I was fighting
the traffic while going home in order to beat the coming storm, which
was already coming upon us with high winds.
At that moment, the motor stopped running and I pulled off the road.
The cell phone towers were jammed and I could not call for help.
I thought to myself that it would not do much good anyway, because
the local tow trucks were probably so busy right now with all the
hundreds of cars running out of gas, overheating and having trouble.
Then to my surprise, I heard a voice to my side saying "need any help?"
When I turned and looked, it was the local tow truck driver, in the middle
of hundreds of cars creeping buy. At the very moment when I needed
help, the tow truck was pulling next to me and in a few minutes took
me and the car to safety.
I looked up at the sky and said "THANK YOU".

The sign of great community! Do you think that the same circumstance of events would lead to the same aid in this situation just anywhere. I don't

It sounds like you had some help from above for sure. I can't even imagine the relief you must have felt.
