I heard there were massive blackouts in Spain Portugal and parts of France. If you can still somehow access the Internet, how are you doing?

    Probably technical. A too big variation (hertz, voltage in this case?) can trigger an automatic disconnection from other networks. The cut in France was quick to fix as soon they isolated the Spain network and rerouted/decreased/increased production from others part of Europe.

      Sounds most likely, ive done some electro engineering in the past at school and looked alot into Civil Engineering. There are alot of Surge protections in place among other protections that can be tripped and i assume because here in the EU we have one big power network with alot of Energy Trade all these different grids working together are prone for a problem from time to time.
