Ignorant, and ridiculous. Typical Markie.

typical Danny boy no content just dismiss anything outside his horizion

the cell phone kept carry text message though out Katrina and the after
math recharging cell phone batteries became a challange but the are
ways of course

but then Danny has never wanted to take part in any discussion where he

There was no cell coverage in NO after Katrina hit. Text message uses
the same cell towers as voice, if those systems are down, you don't text
message either. In situations were the signal is spotty or week, text
messages may get through when voice will not because the text messages
are sent in short packets.

becuase the system was not completely down

as to why it got through better than voice I knew that too
