A co-worker's daughter lives there and he can't get through to call her, I guess all the circuits are busy.

Reminder, in an emergency such as this stay off the phone.

Leave the lines open for emergency workers.

The reason is dial tone is a finite thing. You would think we can all call at once but there are a limited (while amazingly huge number) of circuits in each central office. If everyone calls or calls in at once, then all circuits are busy.

Obviously internet works and you may be able to text message.

If there's anyone on this board who needs to contact people out of the area to let them know you're ok, one option could be to post and I'm sure a TE'er out of the area can call your people. I'll be up for a while, others will too while I think and pray for the families.

Pyxichick, I'm sure the stadium has evacuation plans to get people informed of safe alternate routes and home safely. And I'll bet he'll never leaves without his cell phone again ;-) Please let us know when he's home safe.
