"I dont expect people without access to radio and tv broadcasts to know that a road is now open..."

I have people near me here in Ohio ask "why don't these folks use their cell phones to get info?"

When I explain that even if the can get power back on to power the towers in the area, how many do they think are still standing after 100+ mph winds.

Usually at theat point I get blank looks.

I am afraid a lot of the rest of the country just don't get it yet!

Had a large group in the store a few minutes ago, showed them pictures of the Gulf from the NOAA Cessna flight. They had no clue, they all left shaken. Big checks will soon be coming from San Manuel, Pechanga and Pala - the other California tribes should soon follow.
