Cape May Beach - According to a friend on the east coast of Florida, people adopt a don’t call me, I’ll call you, attitude during major storms. If you have loved ones that have decided to stay please consider you're clogging up the phone lines calling people that may have more important priorities at the moment than picking up the phone to chat. The less calls in the greater ability for those in need to call out depending on condition of cell towers. If your contacts use newer iPhones, they have the ability to connect and send messages via satellite. Instructions online, iOS update may be required. Please Pray
