Cordless phones for the land line obviously didn’t work. Nor did the answering machine. But the hardwired land line extensions worked.
Cell coverage (Verizon) was less than wonderful in the late afternoon. I assume because everyone was calling everyone else to say they were stuck in traffic. (Spent 2 hours going from sorrento valley to UC yesterday!!!) Cell coverage was fine in the evening.
Internet was obviously down. I have a cable modem through time Warner.
