Do you know how to shut the water off to your home or apartment?

Imagine a pipe burst right now. Could you shut the water off so it does not continue to do damage? Do you even know where the valve is?

I have seen some of the videos of water damage in Texas. They show water from burst pipes flowing down the stairs while the homeowner stands there taking videos. Do they not know how to shut the water off?

My house has s shutoff under every sink and toilet and a main shut off after the water meter in the basement. Where is yours?
Also, my neighbor and I went in 50–50 and bought the tool so we could shut off water at the main in the unlikely case that anyone on our road had a disaster. It hangs in a prominent place in his garage. (Maybe this is being overprepared.)

Right now. Could you shut off your water?
