Loss of Communication

*Our strange day yesterday.

First it was widespread internet outage
No internet at some stores too, unable to get gas
Then, it was the cell phone, unable to make calls,
Then it was delayed texts, then unable to text
When usually during power outages, the cell phone still works
No-one knew what was going on in New Hampshire
We had a storm, but it was minor compared to others in the past
Thousands had no power, scattered all over the state, all day
The hours passed, without a full explanation
The weather was not too bad for a storm clean up
Now, loss of communication had consumed the area
Never fully understood, but thankfully restored today

Chris Green October 18, 2019 at 8:54 AM Those kind of thing happen and it does make you think when things that ALWAYS work cease to function. But thankfully all is back to normal again. Heidi Sands October 18, 2019 at 9:17 AM Yes, exactly Chris! Thank you very much :)
