Tbf if it’s really dry and windy, there can be a wildfire risk regardless of the temperature

True! But have you considered this is the second time this is happening in state history? Like. Dry and windy is normal for Colorado. Rolling blackouts are not.

Why do I have a feeling the first time this happened was within the past 10 years 💀

nah I’m saying because it makes a lot more sense now. Either the weather changed (quite likely, but I wonder specifically what changed) or this risk didn’t exist because of different equipment or something
