Text From Xfinity: Severe weather may be causing service interruptions in your area.

Concerned with my Mac:

Text Message on Utilities:


This is a First:

Has anyone ever received such a message as this. It’s tough to decipher.



Seems like no scam, but with all that is going on out there, what do you think?


I’m not in the area where you’d expect to get such a message. By it’s wording, I plan to keep my Mac off for a day or so.


Is this inferring that my Mac might be damaged?

That message is simply referring to xfinity’s online resources to check coverage and outages - e.g. https://www.xfinity.com/support/status With all the recent thunderstorms, tornados and other sever weather, I’m sure a lot of their customers are experiencing outages.

Michael Black,


Looking back, weather was tough. I'm elsewhere for the night.


Thank you kindly for the reply. I have never received that message before.


So, Xfinity approved of the message's authenticity.


Thank you kindly.
