The internet routing table has lost about 5,000 IPv4+IPv6 prefixes after grid power Spain/Portugal was lost, and the number is still slowly going down as I assume batteries/generators run out. I assume most prefixes are still announced while their final destinations are unreachable (Graph is from a one of the sessions bgp.tools has with a T1)
one honk maybe more

The spike in prefixes around 2:30PM -> 3:15PM is another unrelated internet routing incident, you can ignore it in wider context of power cuts

Things are looking up as far as the BGP table can see, after a drop of about 10k prefixes at the worst of times (as generators and batteries were running dry), things are now moving upwards again
