Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS)

We were told that our power could have possibly be shutoff as part of the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) at Noon on the first day of wind in the front range last week. Our power went off at 9:51 am, not noon. Our house on the far east side of Golden on Eldridge never experienced any bad winds that day, but the power stayed off in access of 28 hours. We lost over 50 pounds food from our refrigerator. The next outage, the next morning we were experiencing no wind again, and power went off at approximately 5am. If it wasn’t for the kindness of our son, my wife could have died due to no way she could power her CPAP machine, as she suffers from Combined sleep apnea. Our son brought us a battery operated generator. We lost more food with this second outage, and again we experienced no extreme wind on the far east side of Golden, near Arvada.
