The last hurricane we had knocked out power for 9 days.

I noticed the phones never did go out tho for about a day all you could get was busy signals.

Get the older type landline phone that goes through the phone line rather than the kind that goes through the electric line. We have one phone that works when everything else is down.

Instead of calling on your cell in the big middle of the storm, wait until the weather has passed.

It's not fun to be without power and phone in an emergency situation.
