FYI Noticed Cell network issue this morning

I speculate a software update by A T & T did not go exactly as planned. Likely we'll never know.

Just and F Y I -- In the event of a cyber or other attack, ALL cell sites can be shut down at a moment's notice. Now what is one going to do for communications? A couple of tin cans and a string will work.

Interesting news story indicating that a solar ejection R3 that is documented around 12:30 last night. The Timing of this event is estimated to hit the earth coincident with the Cell towers going down.

It remains unclear if there is a connection between the two events.
