Moving Forward

As a household affected by the preventative shutdown, our power was out for 27 hours. We received our first notice at 11:30 am while away from home before power was shutdown at 3:00.

The entire front range , west of I-25, was under the heavy wind warning yet power was shutoff for a select group of people. Twice as many people were impacted by downed power lines (mainly by trees) as those in the preventative shutdown zones. Those areas could have easily started a fire and were more dangerous because their power had not been shutdown. It is hard to understand some of the rationale involved for preventative shutdown areas when the entire metro area was under threat.
