A massive blackout hit Spain and Portugal, leaving people stranded in trains, trapped in elevators and without phone or internet services. Flights were grounded and hospitals postponed procedures.
Amid the chaos, an Indian man living with his Malaysian wife and children found a unique way to make the moment special. His first thought was that his kids wouldn’t have internet or phone access.
He made tuna sandwiches, played board games using candlelight and spending quality time together without any devices. As there were no phones to distract them, the family decided to take “a walk in the pitch black road, stargazed and caught fireflies.”
On Instagram, the man wrote, “Portugal without electricity sent us back to the cave ages, which to be honest, I didn’t mind. For a brief moment when the whole region was on somewhat panic mode, my first thought was: my kids are not going to have internet tonight.”
“Portugal without power for 12 hours. No internet, no phone network, no contact with the outside world. Our house runs on electricity, so no cooking either. We made tuna sandwiches and played bananagram next to candles and leftover Christmas lights. For the first time in a while, I didn’t have to ask anyone to turn off their devices. It was liberating. Then we took a walk in the pitch black road, star gazed and caught fireflies. I might have enjoyed it a little more than I expected,” he added.
According to a report on Al Jazeera, Portugal’s electricity provider, Redes Energeticas Nacionais (REN) said, “Due to extreme temperature variations in the interior of Spain, there were anomalous oscillations in the very high voltage lines (400 kV), a phenomenon known as ‘induced atmospheric vibration’.”
Dismissing REN’s speculations, Spain’s national weather department, Aemet, explained that on April 28, there were no strange weather events or sudden changes in temperature recorded at any of their weather stations.
