Internet usage pattern during power outage in Spain and Portugal

What patterns do we see in RUM data during the April 28th power outage in Portugal and Spain?

The Anomaly Detection logic shows that traffic dropped below expected levels between 12pm & 1pm CEST(local time in Madrid), and then returned to normal sometime around 2am on the 29th. Once again, I compared the data during the outage with the previous week, and also with other countries in Europe to make sure we weren't catching common patterns. These sites were served by Akamai, and having battery backups, generators, and edge nodes geographically dispersed helps our customers stay online during local events like these.
