Your assumption is that the outage is about the houses that are dark and not some line of silent poles/towers stretching beyond where the people are. The N Boulder outage was probably for rural lines N of Boulder rather than any neighborhood risk. I work in GIS for utilities and know where about a mile of my feeder comes from but I can't figure out where exactly it goes after that. Somebody probably overlaid a few maps (weather forecast, estimated fire risk, electric lines) and picked feeders based on that.

That wasn't my assumption, for what it's worth. I understand that it's about the lines not the end points. It's a good point though, that the lines they worried about the risk of might be nowhere nearby. I suspect you're right about what the process was. I think a more succinct version of my view is this: I think we shouldn't need to speculate about this, we should have the details of this process available to us. I understand that info about specific lines might be sensitive, but we should know what the process is for this.
