My Joan Private Idaho 💐😷Does anyone know if there's a map online of the blackout affecting Portugal, Spain and France?

Attempting a #Blackout map, based on news reports - it's incomplete, as it's hard to tell the extent of the blackouts, so I've only marked cities that are known to be affected or regional capitals of affected areas:

Welp, I'm unable to update the map today 🙃 but updates from energy bodies suggest that power has returned to normal in Portugal:

- https://www.ren.pt/en-gb/media/news/national-grid-stabilised
Spain is coming back online, too, while the impacts across both countries may take time to ease in various sectors (e.g. public transport, airports).
What a palaver. ⚡

Wikipedia says the entire Spanish grid is down, also mentions Belgium is affected.
Haven't cross-referenced or looked in detail, but I guess you'll find good leads over there

@Dave Oh! Thank you - excellent work by the Wikipedians, I didn't even think to check there yet.

It seems they are working from north and south towards the centre. I can confirm that powder recently returned in the city of Malaga and at least some parts of the province of the same name, and seems to be stable. But I would guess not in the whole of Andalucía - I suppose electricity networks don't neatly follow administrative territorial divisions!

@clickhere maybe someone has a high-res #METEOSAT image to compare from last week / 24hrs ago?
