Just got electricity back after over 4 hours of electricity cuts in south of #France

Even our cell phone and mobile internet were also affected, something I had never experienced before.

Our local bakeries were completely empty and people were panicking at the stores who only accepted cash!

We hear ambulances and police cars with sirens passing since noon.

It was a fire at a transmission station in the VAR region last night and Cannes was without electricty between 2-3AM this morning.

Power is restored in Spain after a massive blackout leaves millions stranded.

Power returned to Spain early Tuesday after a major blackout disrupted flights, metros, and communications across Spain and Portugal.

Authorities said over 99% of energy demand was restored, but the cause of the outage remains unclear.

A major power outage in Spain and Portugal disrupts transport and communication.

Spain and Portugal were hit by a major power outage on Monday knocking out subway networks, phone lines, traffic lights and ATM machines.

The Portuguese Cabinet convened an emergency meeting at the prime minister’s residence, and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez visited Red Eléctrica to follow efforts at restoring power to the grid.

Ooh transformer fire just off the new road near the Carclaze. For those of you in St Austell who just had a short power cut.

Me, I just had a demo of how Powerwall can’t handle brown-out seamlessly. Out with the mini-UPS for the essential hardware.

We’ve been without power for more than 51 hrs. We’re now looking at power being restored by midnight on the 28th. We are managing with the wood burning stove and candles.
People have been lovely. Had lunch with a friend… super food, a refreshing dog walk and great discussions.
We can do this - going for the long haul. Work tomorrow and a chance to charge the car. #StormEowyn #PowerCut #scotland

We’re ok after #StormEowyn but have no power and no phone signal. So we can’t be contacted. It doesn’t look like our power supply will be a quick fix as the pole is blocking the road to our neighbours’ farm. In Cupar to get supplies. On the plus I won the scrabble. No apologies for the expletive on a triple word score - gave us a much needed laugh! #StormEowyn #PowerCut

Just emerged from an 18 hour #StormDarragh #powercut.
Not as long as some folks but a pain nonetheless.

Our little suitcase 2.5kWh generator helped a lot: freezer; small electric heater (enough for one room); router; lights; and TV.

Had to juggle heater and freezer a bit.
