This giant press releases giant press release just fell across my desk and I thought I should highlight the important part:

AT&T is committed to providing reliable communications before, during and after a storm, and delivering the highest levels of service quality for customers under all circumstances. Millions of residential and business customers depend on AT&T for critical voice, data and video communications, as well as entertainment services.

With Virginia coastal residents preparing for Tropical Storm Hanna, AT&T is providing important communications tips for residents and small businesses to use before, during and after a storm.

AT&T is obviously doing a feel good PR campaign with this.  Real translation “oh you scared little humans, AT&T is here to save the day in the face of emergency, danger and evil.”

Well, I say to you AT&T, how about you fix your problems and issues with non-emergency situations before you brag about an untrue “high service quality” to Virginia customers?  More BS in More locations!

Three tornadoes went through VA today. Our Governor, Timothy M. Kaine, has declared a state of emergency for the areas in southeast VA that were hit. About 218 injuries have been reported thus far and 9,000 people are without power tonight. This is just no good. To read more please see the story released by the AP below.
(We were lucky to just get stuck with rain and gloomy clouds.)
