Mt. Vernon, Ill. - internet service out

Catastrophe has struck Mt. Vernon, Ill. and pushed them back to the Dark Ages. The internet system for the town is, well, out...

Earlier today I sent emails to the Mt. Vernon P.D. at two different email addresses, and they have been returned. Earlier in the day I was told that a "cable had been cut", and I thought the operator at the P.D. just meant for the P.D. Now it appears to be that the town is out of internet.

Just imagine being without email or the web or ???... Well, there is always the phone. And fax, too.
