The recent windstorm saw our power out for nine hours and counting. When I tried to get updates from Rocky Mountain Power, I chose a chat session on their website, which was a joke because Sahvanna told me I wasn’t in her coverage area. I have a question for which I’d like their response: Will they cover the cost of the frozen food we’ll need to chuck?
