Flood Damage To Phones Hurting Some Local Businesses

We've heard alot about the damage to homes, businesses, and roads from this weeks storms.

But even people who were not swamped by flood waters are feeling the effects.

When the Lamprey River flooded the Verizon switching station in Raymond, some 6 thousand phone lines were knocked out completely.

And that's meant that businesses that rely on the phone for customers are taking a big hit.

Jeff Kantor owns CarWorld.

They sell recycled car parts.....mostly over the phone.

And he tells NHPR's Mark Bevis, if it goes on much longer, he may have to lay people off.
