As a matter of fact, if the downed trees cause power failures, and
the
telephone lines are on the same poles and are downed, why does one
have
phone service but no power?

I suppose you'll have to take that up with your power company and
telephone company, Brian. I'd have to care more about your personal
situation to spend any time researching it for you.

Then your offer to answer further questions was disingenuous.

Not at all, "bb". I answered your question. I don't guarantee that
you'll like the answers.

Much like the rest of your coments.

I suppose that your comments indicating confusion over why your
telephone works when your power isn't on are infused with genuine
concern. ;-)

Once again, I've given you good advice. Your power company and your
telephone company will be better equipped than anyone to allay your
worries over the issue.

Hi! I'm sure the Chase and Bank One have switched over to
digital
HF
networks moving their financial data around.

You think so? I don't. I'm guessing that their data moves via
phone
lines. If the phone lines aren't there, it'll move when there
are
phone
lines.

My guess is that their mainframe stuff uses buried fiber optic
circuits. In 1988 I got the nickel tour of the then-new Union
Pacific Railroad Control Center in Omaha. The Comm chief
actually
showed me where two circuits emerged on two sides of the
building,
one running via St. Louis and the other running via Kansas
City.
In
vital data circuits, redundancy is the name of the game.
But Dave says they're likely to fail.

I have? I don't recall ever considering that radio amateurs would
attempt to pass financial data for bands in time of emergency.

It looks as if you're still confused.

David, which bands would those be? Joe Walsh? Ronnie Milsap?
