Um, total confirmation on my part. I can't remember the exact time - it was most likely between midnight & 1am central time. I laid down for bed and was doing some final internet surfing on my iphone. All of the sudden I complely lost service & the time disappeared from my screen. I have AT&T service. It freaked me out because I'm always paranoid about stuff like that. I even thought of hopping on ATS to see if it happened to anyone else. Lol. Service came back after about 10 minutes and I just fell asleep and forgot about it until now. How odd.
The ONLY other time I've ever lost service was directly folowing the 5.6 Oklahoma earthquake a few months ago. We're about 30 miles from the epicenter. I chalked that up to the fact that everyone in the state was probably on their phone psycho calling loved ones and it over loaded the system or something. Hmmm . . .

The same thing happened in Virginia last summer when we had that EQ. The cell towers were overloaded up and down the entire east ocast becasue the quake was felt from MA to GA. Everyone wants to make sure everyone they know is ok.

This is not the first time this hoax has been claimed. I recall a while back that a similar event event was claimed in a hoax. We can file this with all of the hoaxes of people claiming they can stop watches because of their body electricity.

Hey Sterologist
I know it sounds very obsurd but really, I cannot wear a wrist watch. Within on week any watch I ever put on has stopped working. I do not know why this is but it is true. It is also true that my lightbulbs only last about 6-8 weeks and then they blow. Once when I was little I spent a week at my aunts house when my grandmother passed away and my parents wanted me away while they planned the funeral. Three light bulbs popped within the first day and one other later in the week. I know weird but I dont know why. This episode seemed based in emotions because my grandmother had died and three bulbs in one day never happened before or since. ( that was in 1963 ) Cross my heart this is true.

what r the 10 flags for?

This thread smells like a hoax. So far nothing supports the OP.
