The other night, I was sound asleep when I heard a screeeeeech...... BOOOOOM! Both of us woke up. Naked, I pushed the blinds to the side to see an upside-down car across the street, steam rising up from it. I tried to find my phone. I looked around for maybe 30 seconds, and then threw on some pants and ran downstairs to call 911. When the lady answered (what is your address and the nature of your emergency?) , I sounded like I was calling to conform an airplane reservation... talking as precisely and clearly as possible. But the adrenaline rush was intense. Turns out they had already received a call on the accident. Then I looked out to see two fire engines arrive. Good thing, because I was going to run out there right after calling.
In the end, 3 firetrucks, three police cars, one ambulance, and one fire SUV arrived, along with two news trucks arrived. And I watched it all unfold from my balcony, while trying to calm down and eat watermelon.
