There is currently no power in the Iberian Peninsula. It has been going for about 9 hours now. Yet on Lemmy, I feel like no one talk about this huge international event.

That’s right. We spent most day in Spain without power, internet or cellphones. The only working news source was the good old FM radio.
My emergency kit has a radio with AM / FM / NOAA (emergency weather broadcasts in the USA) and a hand crank to charge its battery for exactly this reason.
For now…
:(
At least I live in an area where the most likely disaster is an earthquake that destroys the entire area, and I’m not sure how useful weather alerts would be in that case.
I always consider buying a hand cranked FM radio for Hurricane season, but always talk myself out of it. I think you just inspired me to finally just do it.
Have you heard anything about what might have caused the drop in power?
