Jim,
Damn man, what a day! Thats a really serious situation but you told it in a funny way. Glad no real permanent harm was done. Something like that can really rattle your cage. I know, as several years ago, we faced the same thing: an out of control fire, set by a neglegent nieghbor, fed by dry conditions and heavy winds. I compare an out of control fire to a tornado in pucker factor. Its some really scary shit! The fire got to within 250 ft of the house and we were throwing valuables in the utility trailer to take down the road. A nieghbors house and an old store burnt to the ground and a couple more were damaged. Fortunately, the wind changed direction and it fed back on itself. That enabled the fire departments to pounce on it and put it out. That was one of the scariest and yet invigorating days I have ever had. Anyway, sounds like you did good! Also sounds like your nieghbor could be a stupid prick!
