CB, I am not very savvy on the NO area, so do not know about the topography of Carrollton, but having some lines survive is not surprising. Electronic systems are more vulnerable to water damage, but not everything was under water. Copper circuits are usually good up to 18,000 feet from a Central Office, so if their CO was dry and there was a direct line - they would be up. The trouble with land lines is that a lot of CO's and neighborhood repeater stations were under water.
