I exchanged messages all day today without a problem, but the mom of one family that I have seen for work claimed that she did not respond to my 08 text message by 1300, when I needed to leave, because "The storm" interfered with her cell phone.

I live forty-five miles away and we received 0.06" of rain. I waited around until when I would have needed to leave, messaged the mom saying that by not confirming she canceled, silenced my phone, and tried to be productive.

She could not exchange messages for five hours because of a bit of rain?

I seriously thought that we established that I did not drive out unless she confirmed in-time, but I am still dealing with this.

In theory, we can drop, but that is extremely limited.

Is there any chance that her claim is legitimate?

Thanks! Have a great day!
