What a way to start a trip. Your neighbors saved the day. Might not be a bad idea to bring them a plate of cookies or something to say thanks. Sounds like you've got a good attitude about the whole thing. Accidents happen. You'll get it under control.
We were on a cruise a couple of years ago, right about in the middle of the Okeechobee Waterway, when one son called to say the house had taken a lightning strike. Took out a tree out front, the irrigation controller, the air conditioning, a breaker box switch, a bunch of electronics in the house, and had started a small fire in the garage. By the time he called us, most of it was under control, the fire was out, and no one was hurt. We were not in a position to tie up somewhere and drive home to help so we had to talk them through what steps to take. Things happen.
