Earlier this month, much of CORE’s service area experienced some of the worst winds on record for the region. Extreme winds caused service interruptions for some CORE members. Our crews braved adverse conditions and worked as quickly as possible to restore service. During and after these windstorms, we heard from many CORE members. Below are just some of the comments they shared, and some photos taken by our crews that show just how bad conditions got. CORE line workers and other field personnel appreciate members’ patience during this difficult work, as well as their words of encouragement!

Thanks guys for getting the power back on last night!! It couldn't have been easy, and we are very grateful!!

I just wanted to thank y'all, especially your linemen, for all the hard work they have put in over the last few days. I've been a resident of Teller County for 37 years. December 15th was the worst wind I have ever seen up here. Listening to my scanner, I heard of at least 5 trees the hit the power lined and I imagine there were many more. I know your team(s) were out there all night in 7° doing whatever it took to get us back up and running. You have an amazing crew. Please be sure to treat them well.

We want to thank you and your technicians for working so diligently to restore our power yesterday, 12/12/2021. Thankfully we have a backup generator and had 75% power, which included heat, refrigeration, and lights. THANK YOU CORE COOPERATIVE!!!

With the recent power outages caused by the high winds I wanted to commend the efforts of the employees at CORE and especially the Linemen who worked very hard across long hours to get the power back on for us. The gentlemen who arrived at our home to repair a section of powerline broken by downed trees were very professional and efficient despite having worked very long hours previous to their efforts at our home.

Greg S.

Just want to let you know how pleased I was to see that you had staged an entire fleet of tree cutting vehicles and line repair bucket trucks on Floyd Hill in anticipation of the recent wind storm. I have lived here for nearly 20 years and have endured many wind storms but I have never seen our electric company PROACTIVELY prepare for potential outages. CORE is a truly professional and well-run operation worthy of respect in the industry. Despite record setting winds, our power only flickered twice but even if it went out, I felt secure knowing that you were on top of it and would restore power much sooner than a less prepared operation would/could have.

Hunter S.

Thank you CORE for the prompt service, our electric is now on. Your crews need a big thank you!

Terry G.

I just wanted to thank all of you for restoring our electricity. I know how hard you worked to get power back to over 11 thousand people and we were anxious because we were the last few. We really appreciate the work of all of you and know it was an extreme storm that created hazardous working conditions! You guys are awesome ( including the poor woman who had to listen to my call).

CORE crews appreciate members’ patience, compliments
