I still am not sure if there was just so much traffic that it disabled the phones or there were blackouts instituted (would not have been surprised)I. did not get home until 9someting that night. Most places on base wouldn't let people leave until it was cleared and gates were closed. Took HOURS to get off base, TONS of soldiers searching all cars leaving.
My daughter in law was stuck in lock down until late that night. She was at the AaFES PX. All we were able to get from her that day was a few texts. We didnt hear from her husband until the next day. He is with the 69th ADA.
