    Hey, simply not stressing the infrastructure is probably more helpful than you know. And I've been there. I was really careful during the Cedar Fire to only turn on appliances and lights as I needed them, and carefully unplugged everything else and I rationed my A/C usage. When I found out later that SDG&E had been something like 20 minutes away from losing the grid completely, until the emergency power from Nevada came through, I was exceedingly happy that I had.

    I know the feeling. I had just graduated from UC Berkeley and was back home in San Diego when Loma Prieta hit. And I had friends who were evacuated or had their homes damaged while I was pretty much safe the whole time from the Cedar Fire (and accompanying firestorms) and Northridge earthquake.

    Hang tight. Do what you can.
