How? The entire cell network was down in NO. The only way to get cell
coverage there was out on some remote point a few people managed to get
to and make a few calls.

Yeah, I heard that the network was down too! I guess it depends on if
you hate hams or not. If you hate hams, one message getting out means
that Cell phones work great in an emergency.

Maybe MSNBC put up their own cell phone system just so they could impress
Markey the Moron.

I heard that a guy used his CB radio to get a ride for a woman who's
car stalled. Even if someone did use text messaging to get a message
through, that sort of thing is just the exception that proves the rule.
