When this happened to me during Hurricane Charley, I called AT&T and begged the woman to let me know how long the cell service would be down; since it was the only form of communication I have with my mother. Thank goodness, I had an operator who cared and told me that the towers would be down for a few more hours. I wish you and your family the best and hoping your brother contacts you and lets you all know, that he is alright.

Minimal damage in the immediate area at the moment but can hear the transformers exploding and things going boom. Have an air leak in my slider and the flapping window dressings are entertaining the cat at the moment.
Tis a nor'easter without the snow.
Family in Rhode Island didnt fair as well as they were closer to the eye. Been without power since early am, lots of trees down, buckets of rain. Found one bro with a generator who is housing the Momma at the moment. Cant reach the other - phone and cell service is down.
Gonna be a long night.
