Out of curiosity, have you ever experienced a loss of cell service because a power outage knocked out all of the towers within range?

I also imagine a lot has to do with how much of the local telephone wiring is above ground and how much below ground.

(And I used my landline so rarely that it could have been AWOL for weeks and I wouldn't have known but when my DSL would go away I would check for a dialtone.)
