Looks like Hanna lost her Hurricane status, for now... there are three tropical storms headed straight for Florida..

Hanna, Ike, Josephine

cute names

I got to Florida in 2004 and left in 2008 (about 10 weeks ago)... that first year was a bear -- five hurricanes. Then it was basically smooth sailing for three years. It looks like they're back with a vengeance!

EDIT:

I don't know what to say.

I merged your post into this thread... I don't honestly understand what's "laughable" about it -- telecommunications prep for storms is a big deal... everyone's cell phone network is at risk of going down, and many people don't even own corded landline telephones anymore.

I can only guess: This item was on the macrumors page today: Users Report AT&T Data Outage .

Hanna becomes hurricane, could hit East Coast​

Maybe. But Hanna will not hit Montanna.

Anyway, a friend's father was called down to help restore power. At least there wasn't too much damage.
