For the curious, it was a bad pressure tank.

(Asking from a city guy perspective)
That is a fair question...
In addition to the emergency use that you mention....
Kids toys..still fun for kids.
They can be useful when camping. Very possible that you are in an area that does not have cell service..or it is spotty.
Some jobs may find them useful... I think I saw a retirement home mentioned.
Construction might be another...as well as various others.
But for those thinking these might be helpful in a park like DisneyWorld.....no.
They would be...except for the other 20K people who all had the same idea and have every channel totally bogged down.
Cruise Ships are another place where you would think they would be useful..but they are not.
The steel walls in a cruise ship mean that unless both ends are on the top deck and outside, these are worthless.
At that time we only had one cell phone between the two of us. Now we each have our own
Yes, these radios can have a 16+ mile range, FRS/GMRS channels operate using repeaters, hence the longer range. These radios are basically one or two steps below being a licensed amateur radio operator.
