Cell phone know all

Q1: Why aren't land lines working in New Orleans? Because the land lines are wet.

Q2: Why aren't cell phones working in New Orleans? Because the towers are wet.

Which of these two questions are correct? Number 1. Question 2 is partially correct, but the full story is detailed in this article explaining why even if a tower is ok, calls still might not go through. Very interesting if you're a cell phone geek.
