     The tl;dr of the power outage thing:

     - It started in Spain
     - Portugal and France partially impacted, they're bordering countries with interconnects

     BBC tracker: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c9wpq8xrvd9t

     Power outage at 11:32am in Spain, marked in red - the frequency fell, likely things shut down to protect themselves, will need safe restarts, takes a few hours.

     Not a doomsday thing, in basically all cases like this it's a squirrel or some such.

     I deleted the seaplane toot - that was from a prior incident with same company in 2021.

     Flying fish this time? Ninja turtles? Expired certificate?
