weird update

Okay, this is getting weirder. Remember how I said that I saw a wounded guy stumble past? Well, soon after, another injured guy came tromping directly through my yard! Assuming these two got into it, I tried calling 911 to report it and hopefully keep them from killing each other and get an ambulance over here ASAP (the second guy looked really bad, like ear-falling-off bad. Yes, eww.)

Seems that the local 911 circuits are overloaded: I got a busy signal, not even a recorded message. When's the last time you heard a busy signal? So I turn on my radio (NPR lunch show), but it's just dead air.

Did I miss something?

EDIT: Update: 96.5 is still running as usual. Music and commercials suggest all is well. Anyone else have an answer to what's happening?

Best,
Chris

Wow, this is sounding all very post-apocalyptic...

I would totally understand it if you started getting paranoid, but I have no idea what might be going on, no.

Um, wormhole? Maybe that is what's making me so sick this morning.

If I had energy, I would comically come stomping through your street as well. Just to add to your mystery.

Well listening now is working fine for the KU public radio...

Oh, I can listen to both KPR and KCUR via online streaming, so something is still broadcasting.

There are two kinds of busy signals, you know -- regular busy means your party is actually on the line or his line is down. Fast-busy means there are no circuits available to complete the call.

Nothing on the radio, nothing on the news

I'm getting worried, I'm hearing a lot of sirens and gunfire out here in LA. I live in a gated building so I guess I'm safe.

For now.

Perhaps I should make a run for some supplies?

OMG - I hope you're okay! Lawrence, at least, is a small place and easily defended. But I can't even begin to imagine how many undead populate a city like yours! On the plus side, I bet a lot of neighbors are packing guns....
