Re: how many posts until...
ehhh...
cells phones work in many situations where a hurricane may have knocked out phone lines. For example, during Katrina, cell phones were the ONLY option for people whose landlines were cut. Also, many CO's were flooded by the storm surge. You guys seems to think phone CO's are located somewhere in heaven, but face the facts: they are just as likely to fail as anything else. NO technology is bulletproof, but at least with cellphones, there is not physical medium b/w the user and network, thus reducing the # of variables that can cause probs.
BTW, of the people whose landlines were still working after Katrina, many faced busy circuits, due to the HUGE overloading of the already-limited phone infrastructure. Also, 911 centers were flooded with calls, thus making a landline a moot point.
