Also, why did being without electricity mean you were with out cell service? Was the whole region without power? All the cell towers down?

The whole area (meaning our little town and everything to the next town (that's 60km away)) was without power, thus the cell towers' backup batteries was drained after 2 hours, thus we couldn't use our card machine, the ATM's was offline (the local bank was only open to receive money and make change, they couldn't process the monies), thus the only business we could do was based on money. And with the banks and "security" experts blurting it all over society that money is a "security" risk and paying with a card is "safer" it made it difficult for all businesses in our town.
