Nothing like a natural disaster to bring neighbours together
Many years ago I lived in an apartment and had never met my neighbours, there were only 2 apartments per floor. One day I come home to find 2 police officers at my door, a man and a woman. Needless to say I was surprised, it turned out they were my neighbours knocking on my door to invite me to a party they were having that Friday. At that party I found out that half of the apartments in the building were owned by cops, or firemen. Always felt safe in that place, I later worked with most of them.
