Transmission lines are coloured according to their most probable line status. Blue lines are most likely directly damaged by strong winds (primary damages), whereas red lines are most likely deactivated due to cascading secondary failures. Grey lines have a higher probability of remaining operational than failing due to primary damages or secondary failures (Supplementary Note 5 provides details on the model calibration).
