After a big storm, other electric companies send trucks from surrounding states to help restore electricity. But do other cable companies come from surrounding states to help the local cable company with Internet repairs for storm damage? Probably not so much.
Has electricity been completely restored and have the streets been cleared over the entire city? The tornado that hit Rogers, AR was 1.7 miles wide. It would have been the largest tornado in Arkansas history, but another tornado near Decatur about the same time was 1.8 miles wide.
