I'm curious if we have any type of confirmation that the 1st automatic report was in fact the AP disconnect and the shift to alternate logic? If so based on my limited understanding that would indicate that an upset of some type preceded the following cascade of electrical and system failure warnings. If the initial domino in the chain had been a lightening strike (positive or standard) wouldn't the electrical warnings be either 1st or in close sequence?

It appears that the initial upset was 1-3 minutes prior to the burst of follow up system failure warnings. Has AF clarified or released the order, "time stamp" and content of the warnings as of yet?
