        Cell phones need cell towers which run on electricity. Hurricane knocks over towers and takes out power grid. No more cell phone service. Investigation over.

        Well...DYK that a cell tower is designed to sustain a Cat2 hurricane winds? They also needs power to operates, and a NOC fully operational, not forgetting about additional infrastructure, and so on. The FCC Chief is a fucking idiot, alike the moron at the WH doing shit for ppl.

        It's NOT just the fact there's NO Cellphone service in #Florida , it's also that there are NO cellphone charging trucks that have been sent out for people to hookup to use!!! To make matters worse....90%+ of people NO LONGER HAVE LANDLINE Phones & there are NO more Phone Booths!
