I was in SoCal when the quake hit. I tried for six hours to get through 
to ANYONE who could give me the scoop on my radio charges. I was able to 
reach NO ONE, including my own home, anyone at any of the stations, any 
friends, relatives, or anyone else. No calls would go through, wireless 
or wired. 

Yes, the phones failed...whether you were aware of it or not. I ended up 
hitting the road about midnight and driving back to the Bay Area. For 
all I knew, everything I owned or serviced was destroyed.

Yes, it did...whether you want to believe it or not.
