Xcel is considering an additional power shut off day Friday.  🤦‍♂️ Things could get spicy over the next few days.

Their enhanced line safety equipment will automatically kill power if there is any kind of ground fault even like a branch just contacting it.  It will not be reenergized until the entire  circuit can be inspected.  

Shutdowns can be widespread and random and lengthy.  The Boulder County EOC is open and I am monitoring  briefings.  Planned power shutdowns are scheduled to begin around 1000am.

Thanks for your flexibility during all of this chaos.  This may be a new reality moving forward.

 Power is restored to the Lumen box! Folks with hard lines have phone service.  If folks have a generator they should have internet and phone service. Also, the fire station has phone and internet.
