1. "All circuits are busy now" trying to reach my buddy's cell in N.O.

Cell towers are probably being overloaded with folks on the move using their phones at once.

6. I've been trying to reach a cell in that area

for four days now. "circuits are busy". Been trying all hours of the day and night. I'm in Australia, have even called in what would be the small hours of the morning in Louisiana.

The cell phone provider is Sprint.

7. The cell towers are

destroyed down there. I don't know when they will be back in service.

There's a blog at www.nola.com. Post a message there and hopefully they will or someone who knows them will reply.

Good luck.
