Email: How did you fare through Rita? [LJ]

I'm partial to power for AC, computing, Internet, cooking and TV. You are so right about our good fortune! I wanted to stay awake and "guard" the house but was so tired from preparations that I crawled off to bed before 3 am. I could just imagine staying huddled for hours in a small room alone (even with Molley). If living in Houston has taught me anything, it's much better to get out of the storm path and return after power returns.
