I wrote a bash script to scrape the per-county power outage data, used CSVKit to convert the JSON to a CSV, took the CSV into Google Sheets and XLOOKUP'ed the FIPS codes into it, and got this map: www.nbcnews.com/news/weather...#Helene

This county map of the eastern U.S. shows the share per county without power service. A swath of the country, like a stab wound that starts in northern Florida and extends up to the western tip of Virginia, is almost entirely without power.
