At 12:33 PM local time, a major power outage happened in the Iberian Peninsula. 15 GW of electric energy, 60% of Spain's daily need, was lost in a sudden, resulting in a nation-wide shutdown. Every single home and business, including hospitals and emergency services, as well as all railways (very few remain not using electricity) and airports lost their supply and thus stopped working, and even some traffic lights got affected.

This resulted in absolute chaos in the streets, with almost no business being able to operate, bus lines being extremely overcrowded as people attempted to return to their homes, and of course the networks and communications weren't functioing either as they lost its power source. Coupled with the fact some regions also lost access to water (the supply is organized via electric pumps and other electric systems, which weren't working), we effectively returned to Middle Age right there.

The outage lasted for a few hours or the whole day, depending on the region. As late as 1 AM there were still millions of people without electricity, and some railways haven't yet resumed operations at 1 PM the day after the shutdown. The outage reached Portugal and the Canary Islands, as well as slightly affecting Andorra and southern France as well as Morocco, whom did rely no matter how little in Spanish installations to keep their systems functioning.

At this time, 13:25 PM, no official explanation has been given for this outage. Theories started running from the providers and the government, only to be shutdown because they attributed the guilt to someone else. A cyber attack has also been ruled out, but honestly I don't think it's entirely ruled out considering the magnitude of the outage and the massive reach it's had, as well as the relative quickness to recover the supply (similar outages secluded to single regions lasted for days yet this one was solved much more rapidly despite being nation-wide, which is suspicious at the least).

News will surely keep coming as the consequences of the sutdown are left behind and the causes are investigated. But this will surely affect in a very negative way the government no matter how it's handled, it's not a time nor an era to have such major accidents happen.

I won't talk about the incident on a personal level because I haven't yet been able to contact all my people and also I have still something pending to be solved, but it was one of the worst days in history. My only wish is that everybody who got trapped in elevators or railway tunnels or even left stranded who knows where was able to make it back home safe and sound.

I'll update this thread if I get any other news. I know I'm probably the only user here who got affected, but still it's a major issue that hasn't gone unnoticed by the outside world.
