My daughter lives in Merryland. She lost her cell service and still doesn’t have any I think.
Cause as soon as I knew it was an earthquake I called her. I got that rapid busy signal when it’s out. Seconds, just seconds later, I go to Facebook and she’s online asking if anyone else lost cell service.
At the time she didn’t know it was an earthquake.
And that’s how we were able to communicate, via Facebook. Heh.
I have friends who lost cell service in the Maryland and New Jersey area shortly after the quake.
Yeah we have AT&T wireless, our cell service was wonky for a few minutes right after the quake. My West Coast Facebook friends are poking fun at us for freaking out about this, but hey this isn’t normal for us dangit!

You and millions of other people living on the east coast, or who even know anyone who lives on the east coast. Phone service wasn’t “out” because of the earthquake, but because everyone needed to reach out and touch someone.
I heard on the radio that little (population-wise) Howard County’s emergency center got about 750 911 calls in just a few minutes -— people phoning to say they felt something! Good grief!
Same for me in Fairfax, VA and my daughter in Suitland, MD.
