    #! The whole neighborhood seems black. This almost never happens here...

      More even than just the neighborhood it seems: there is no light reflected from the clouds (that I can see) - all there is is a little moonlight where the clouds are thin enough. #

        Wow, that took almost 3 hours. Surely that must gave been a big one. No data on my phone either, the radio towers were out, too (connected but no traffic). First good sign after 2.5h was that I saw cloud-reflected light from other neighborhoods here and there. I was making !coffee by boiling water in a pan on the gas stove, by candle light... #

          On the local news: at 7:35 still 85,000 addresses without power. Not just most of Amsterdam but around the city as well. #

            Originally some 360,000 customers without power. Also on the highways around the city. Trains and trams affected, too. #

            At 8:00 all households in the city have power again, metro is getting started, busses ride normally - but no trams yet (overhead power still off) and no trains. That's going to be fun (NOT): I have to travel back to Groningen today... #
