Good job. I thought about doing a similar map animation based on that website but it appeared I would have to pay to download the data. I don't see a "custom mapbox" anywhere on the site.

Pendleton county in West Virginia must suuuuuck. It’s like a glitchy neon sign during the whole animation.

Maine, you wanna update your grid?

Its nothing that Maine did wrong, they just received the highest winds. The big "oopsie" is actually that quick second surge in Tennessee and North Carolina which was load shedding due to not having enough generation, not storm damage.

Power companies in Maine are pretty terrible. There might be some engineering challenges but nothing that should cause this many more outages.

Are we missing data for a few counties?
Jasonbluefire OP t1_j30due1 wrote
yeah, PowerOutage.us tracks about 93% of all electric customers in the USA. The gray counties are places where we don't track any electric provider that serves that area.

What do the green shades represent? It would be nice to have that in the annotations.

Green a mix of blue and yellow, between 0 and 10%
