An outage is understandable, the timeline for restoration is not. We should not loose power for 18-21 hours every time it gets windy. If Xcel is going to change their policies regarding power restoration then they should have the manpower on hand to get the electricity flowing in a timely manner. Whether the last two events were planned or not, Xcel has been doing a terrible job lately on our power grid.
As to the pair gain system for the landlines....if the batteries were working then they would provide service for at least a few hours during an outage but the landlines drop as soon as the electric goes out. The last I knew CL refused to put any money it those antiquated systems that service our area, including replacing the batteries that no longer hold a charge on the units.
