Mobile phone depends on antenna towers. Towers toppled easily with such strong gusts of wind. That has always been the weakest point of mobile/wireless technology. Even if you have satellites, you still need to beam up and down.
And with all flooding surrounding New Orleans, you cannot send in mobile antenna Van units. That can be one of the fastest way to restore some communications. Althought I don't see why it cannot be done in the dry areas?
