Power went off Saturday at 15:03 as I found out the same morning, while reading my text messages with a "maybe" but most likely. The announced timeframe for the blackout was estimated to last from 3pm to at least midnight, which seemed manageable. I filled the bathtub with cold water, because I'm on a well and without power the pumps don't work and this was a good idea because It didn't come back on before Monday evening around 5pm, which puts the duration of the outage at 50 hrs! My Partner uses an oxygen compactor at night due to long covid related issues. Power outages seem to be Xcel's hallmark. Just a few weeks ago when we got a lot of snow, we were out for about 24hrs.
