finn<p>Everyone in Porto seems to be on the streets now. There’s queues at the supermarkets that are open, but many are closed. Around me Lidl and Spar stayed open, Minipreço and Mercadona closed. Surprisingly little issues with traffic from what I can see, even though traffic lights are off. Many bakeries are empty of inventory. Metro isn’t running. I see many tourists wait in front of AirBnBs, I assume some of them have electronic locks. </p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/blackout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blackout</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/powercut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>powercut</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/portugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>portugal</span></a></p>

Kate :verigold:<p>At 10am today there was a Gloucester-wide power cut that lasted several minutes. At 2pm, I received an email from The National Grid entitled "Are you power cut prepared?"</p><p>Coincidence?

Janet<p>We’ve been without power for more than 51 hrs. We’re now looking at power being restored by midnight on the 28th. We are managing with the wood burning stove and candles. <br>People have been lovely. Had lunch with a friend… super food, a refreshing dog walk and great discussions. <br>We can do this - going for the long haul. Work tomorrow and a chance to charge the car. <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/StormEowyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StormEowyn</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/PowerCut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PowerCut</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/scotland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scotland</span></a></p>
Janet<p>We’re ok after <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/StormEowyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StormEowyn</span></a> but have no power and no phone signal. So we can’t be contacted. It doesn’t look like our power supply will be a quick fix as the pole is blocking the road to our neighbours’ farm. In Cupar to get supplies. On the plus I won the scrabble. No apologies for the expletive on a triple word score - gave us a much needed laugh! <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/StormEowyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StormEowyn</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/PowerCut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PowerCut</span></a></p>
