Very stressful

My 3 day power outage was difficult because the was zero communication from xcel. Their website was never up to date. Status reports had no information or estimate as when the power might go back on. Because we were unprepared, we lost everything in our fridge and freezer. One of the nights was absolutely freezing. The lack of updates was very upsetting. We couldn't make plans because of this. My neighbor is on oxygen and had to leave because she had no estimate as to when electricity would be back. There was no need to turn the electricity off on Friday. Ridiculous. Preemptive shut offs shouldn't be a thing. Weather reports are not always accurate in Colorado. Very unpredictable here. Shutting off electricity should be for real emergencies only. The CEO of xcel should offer anyone in Colorado a generator at cost. And every day we go without electricity, so should he.
