Little Extreme

We were told our power would be out for roughly 6 hours. That message came in a form of call, text and email. The power went out earlier and didn't come on until the next evening for about 6 hours. Then it went off for a few days. There was really little wind. We were led to believe by the news that things would be worse yet Xcel shut us down. Since we live in the foothills, we rely on wi-fi calling. When our power is shutdown, we have no service for phone or internet. With no power, we will not get an evacuation notice if there is a wildfire. Xcel may not want to get sued again but by shutting down the power, they are putting people in danger because we have no communications.

I lost all the food in refrigerator and freezer. Spend money on food because Xcel only said our power would be out for about 6 hours. Seems like turning Colorado into an electric only state is not a wise idea and Xcel proved it.
