First I've heard of it, and I've checked lemmy at least four times today
I watched the first two pages of All on both Hot and Active and I could find mention of it. I thought it would be today's main focus on Lemmy but somehow not even a little bit.
It was a failure of the interconnection between France and Spain after a sudden drop in power, but no reports of what caused the drop yet.
Have you heard any theories about what it could have been that caused the drop?.
Yet on Lemmy, I feel like no one talk about this huge international event.
Maybe because the people that are affected don't have power.

Can confirm - we just got our power back (I’m in Lisbon). We had internet access for the first hour or so, but after that we were offline for several hours. Most of my family (outside of Lisbon) are still unreachable.
Lets not abdicate our responsibility to wildly speculate about the situation in their absence
I would like to speculate that the entire Iberian peninsula has fallen into the Atlantic. Andorra is coastline now.
That's right. We spent most day in Spain without power, internet or cellphones. The only working news source was the good old FM radio.
I always consider buying a hand cranked FM radio for Hurricane season, but always talk myself out of it. I think you just inspired me to finally just do it.
Have you heard anything about what might have caused the drop in power?
My emergency kit has a radio with AM / FM / NOAA (emergency weather broadcasts in the USA) and a hand crank to charge its battery for exactly this reason.
NOAA (emergency weather broadcasts in the USA)
For now...
:(
At least I live in an area where the most likely disaster is an earthquake that destroys the entire area, and I'm not sure how useful weather alerts would be in that case.
