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 Heidi Sands 10/18/19

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.
