Does anyone know if a text message on a phone will keep trying to get through in a jammed network, or will it get lost if it can't get through the first time?

Jim, you might give it a few hours. If you get through now, there's a good chance the call will be dropped. No sense in wasting his cell battery fighting a jammed network.

The text should store. If someone sends me one and my phone is off I will get it the next time I turn my phone on.

The Fox news channel is confirming the idea of trying to text rather than calling people. I hope Rick and Roland are alright. It looks pretty bad in both of their neighborhoods and Scott's too.

Just checked my cell phone. I got some text messages from Scott. One at 6:35 am his time. He said he was hearing some banging at the back of the house, and that they were really getting hammered and had no power.He heard what sounded like an explosion on the road behind them but couldn't see what it was. More to follow...
