Boulder resident

I didn't have enough lighting devices (Kindle screens only go so far), and it got very cold in the house. I could have used some information about food spoiling, appropriate lighting, phone chargers. My elderly neighbor couldn't process the very very long phone message, and had to ask for help. She also had no lighting and stumbled around in the dark and cold. She was scared. Her power was only restored on Monday! But something else truly frightened me: I read in the paper that Foothills Hospital hadn't gotten any communication from Xcel about power restoration. They have been running on generators! In the past, I've seen that a CT scanner, didn't come back on line even after power was restored, and was damaged. Why in hell was the hospital cut off???
