[Coco] After Rita

Glad to hear that you survived Rita.
  
Three days to get your power restored that is quick. My brother lives 
in Hobe Sound Florida and took both direct hits from Frances and 
Jeane last year . Both times his power was out for a week. The 
saving grace he had was the 5KW generator. He was able to hook it  
up to  his hot water heater and take a hot shower. The rest of the 
time he  powered a few lights and his refrigerator and freezer.
