[HCARC] Outage

[Harvey N. Vordenbaum]

Our phone wasn't working because it is via TWC.  Sprint was out, but I could
make a call via roaming and  using 1-830-etc.
What is your phone via?
Somebody said a fiber optic cable was cut near Johnson City.
I first noticed the problem about 2 p.m.

this afternoon and evening has been very interesting in communications since
this afternoon my cell phone hasn't been working properly every time I was
going to make a local call it was telling me that I was roaming. when I got
home from working at church try to use my landline and the landline was not
working, turned on my television and a television wasn't working, I call
Time Warner and the voicemail said that there was trouble on the line, I
called Sprint and I told me a fiber optic cable was cut. the point I'm
making now can you imagine if this was a disaster from a storm all the
communications would be knockdown, only amateur radio would be the most
reliable source of communication. it is really interesting how much we rely
on technology until it breaks.
