Glad for being cautious but too long and poor communication caution

We were part of the preventive shutdown. We got notice sat morning so had little time to prepare. Our power was off til Monday morning so we lost everything on our fridge and feeezer. We received NO notification that the power had been turned on. We found out from neighbors and our internet provider.

The outage map is a joke. My neighborhood never showed up as being out even though our whole neighborhood and everyone N of Via Appia in Louisville was out while those S had power.

luckily my house stayed fairly warm, but if it had been colder outside this would’ve been a disaster and a public health crisis. Xcel needs to communicate more and have plans in place for people with cities and govts if this is going to continue to happen like they do in CA and Or.
