2024 Xcel wind debacle

While I understand the importance of being proactive in the energizing an area due to high winds, based on a fire hazard, it doesn’t make sense to me that neighbors across the street had power the whole entire time. I get that certain transformers run certain areas, but if there’s a huge fire danger, why do they have power and we don’t?


They are literally less than 100 yards away from my front door.



Then when I went to check on my outage, it kept saying that I had no outage. Multiple times I tried to report my outage and it said the power was on at my location. My power was de energized at 3:18 PM on Saturday and didn’t come on till almost 8 PM on Sunday, everything in my fridge and freezer had to be thrown away.

I guess like I said my biggest frustration is that neighbors right across the street had power if there was a huge fire hazard and danger why do they have power?
