Earlier this month, Xcel Energy cut electricity to about 55,000 customers along the Front Range to reduce wildfire risks from wind gusts that topped 100 mph. Another 95,000 of its customers lost power because of downed power lines from those intense winds. Those outages, planned or forced, removed power to about 40 cellular towers that Verizon Wireless relies on.
