Things were a mess. Stop lights didn’t work, no lights, of course, no water because the water pumps didn’t work, restaurant freezers melted and ruined food causing untotaled damage to restaurant owners, and so on and so on…… And that was only in 12 hours. Oh, btw, we were told corded phones would work. Ours worked for a while, then went out. Of course, all other phones didn’t work, except a little bit on the cell phone, especially texting, but that was hit and miss also. The only communication device that worked was ham radio, and then only on the handhelds (HTs) unless you had a battery or generator for your desk radio in your house. The ham radio in the autos worked if the vehicle’s battery didn’t go out.
