"The Romulus Fire Department said it has received reports of people trapped in their vehicles in the underpasses.

As of 4:50 p.m. on Monday, more than 9,000 customers are without power. Meanwhile, more than 6,000 Consumers Energy customers are without power."

Unfortunately, no info/alert on the official Romulus Michigan government website to indicate any kind of emergency. Or to inform residents to stay off the roads.

My recently acquired battery energy backup pack just saved all the food in our Fridge/Freezer during an extended blackout. Can’t live comfortably without one in these days of uncertainty, infrastructure stress, and system failures. Especially when it’s freaking HOT 🔥. So I ordered two more add’l battery packs to enhance the one we already have. Bought the first one with a portable solar power generator which can re-charge it in a few hours of sun. We’ll use that to charge the new ones as well. In an ideal, people-first world, battery backup on a neighborhood scale would be automatically provided by local and regional governments. That would make sense financially over the long run, and save lives right away and in perpetuity. I’m not holding my breath, tho… #energy #PowerOutage #PowerGrid #EnergyGrid #battery

How the April 28, 2025, #poweroutage in #Portugal and #Spain impacted #Internet traffic and connectivity
In Portugal, Internet traffic dropped as the power grid failed, with traffic immediately dropping by half as compared to the previous week, falling to approximately 90% below the previous week within the next five hours.
At a network level, the loss of Internet traffic from local providers including NOS, Vodafone, MEO, and NOWO was swift and significant.
