Everything I've heard on the news suggests the same as well. Most people probably didn't even have dishes fall off shelves or anything.

I too noticed cell service drop to a crawl in the 10-15 minutes after it. I was only text messaging and they wouldn't even go through.

Not only is it good advice to not overload the phones, everyone should have a plan in place with their family members regarding what you do in case of a disaster when not together, and with all phone service down.
