Drew fingers by throat

« I was in a grocery store called Mas when this happened.

Yesterday’s electricity loss in the Iberian Peninsula has become better than the need to say and Karl and his wife were just in Spain like a number of Icelanders at the moment, either people living in this beloved summer paradise of Icelanders or go to short visits to rest on the dark.

« Gradually, I realized that it was not possible to buy anything because the boxes did not work and could not receive payments or do anything, » says Karl. « We returned to the shelves and managed to get out, they managed to make a tear between the sliding doors and let people out, but no one was let in, » he continues.

All bread disappeared in the bakery

Like many others, the assistant editor did not suspect that the electricity dryer was so extensive that was later to be revealed. « We decided to walk to another supermarket, but saw them on the way that everything was turned off everywhere. This shop we went to was clearly with our own electrical station because everything was going on and that was where we found out that it was more extensive, people were guggling and stuff, » he says.

They have therefore been able to buy the dinner and come back to the place where the dull news waited. « One in the suite had been out on the street and saw them where you came out on the balcony and shouted » Spain, Portugal, France « and then pulled his finger after his throat. Of course, you didn’t know what was going on, ”says Karl.

He states, however, that no horror has taken place, as there is no such incident to call for mosquitoes, not even in the blood-hot southern Europeans who put themselves in the smallest items.

« You still saw that all the bread had disappeared in the bakery here in the corner, but it was still no event, » says Karl. However, the power failure has made a glimpse of the small community in Nerja, many bars and restaurants have now had to close at the beginning of the Spaniard’s biggest season and their neighbors in Portugal – the tourist season.

Caterers proved to be resourceful

« We went to a restaurant last night, we were asked to come early because they couldn’t cook in the dark, » says Karl, laughing, « they had gas and there you went a bit into the past, for example in camps. People were folding on paper cuts and people paying money, » he says.

« I work semi -shadowy in this picture that the woman took of me, » says the interviewer, in store yesterday with the emergency lighting one function.

However, no ATM has seen a job in the electricity failure and the events on the Iberian Peninsula are perhaps perhaps posts in today’s social discourse about the need for cash that some want to ban as there is water in the mill of the underworld while others see the wisdom of having a banknote.

« It lasted for a very long time, electricity was hardly anywhere at midnight yesterday, it happened to us at two o’clock last night and this is the biggest electricity outlets in Europe from the beginning, » says Karl, who mentions one case that he remembers bigger – and anyone else but journalists remember such a thing? – The electricity failure in India at the end of July 2012, the most extensive electricity loss in history when 670 million people were without electricity, which was about half of the Indians at this time and about a tenth of the world’s population.

The Spaniards are mischief like other nations, and some had clearly assumed that electricity could betray. This house was well informed last night.

At the end, Karl points out that a high proportion of energy sources who betrayed the Iberian Peninsula yesterday were solar and wind energy. « Now it is said that these systems with renewable energy sources do not manage as well with strokes and instability as the old system.

Karl and family are on their way to Iceland, but managed to experience the most extensive electricity loss in the history of Europe, such as a number of other Icelanders who have talked to mbl.is since yesterday.
