Hi Ken
I am pretty sure that you are on the line that goes down County Rd B, to the
east of your house and through the back of the properties on the north side of
B.   I also noted when I moved here five years ago that I have gone without
power way too often and recall the day last summer that you are referring to.
(it must be that County Road B name thing....Xcel thinks we are rural...just
kidding).
We have a line that runs through lots of trees.  Last summer, right after the
long power outage you reference, Xcel came out and cut back quite a bit of
space and I think things got better.  As long as there are lots of trees back
in our yards and the power lines run above ground...we are prone to problems.
At least that's what I was told by the nice man who cut down half of my River
Birch.   They really gutted a good size area all the way down the row.  If you
ever want to stop by the backyard...you can actually look down the lines and
see what I mean.

That's pretty much what I know.
