The phone companies implement traffic controls to ensure that calls for help from inside the disaster zone get priority. Calls into the disaster zone are considered to be less important.
No what happens is the quake knocks the reciever off the hook and jams the lines gessss
Are any of you watching the first overhead shots of this disaster on FNC? It's shocking.
Drop the Red Cross commercial, or get lost. We're trying to gather information on Katrina, not your employer.
Which Real estate co? Some are better than others about this.
You got a problem with that? The best things in life are fees honey.
Pictures on CNN and FOX are incredible. No telling home many people were not able to get out in time. Some people are saying that the water came up so fast that they barely had time to get on top of their roofs. Amazing.
I'm sure that, if you're ever stuck in a disaster, you'll stand on principle and decline any aid the Red Cross might wish to provide to you. /sarc

Looking at that photograph of the dome...had this been a Cat four or five it never would have survived. That is a joke as far as construction goes.
I wantd to see that!
