We got electricity back in Lisbon! Some small observations:
- 5g continued to work for a couple hour just fine, only after 15:00 did it become spotty and sometimes wouldn't work at all. I wonder if one of the celltowers wasn't as affected but saturated as it might've been located at a hospital, which generators I could hear.
- The streets were calm when I went to throw the trash in the early evening. Lots of confused tourists trying to find a place to eat something at (it was all closed).
- fridge was still completely cool when we opened it 7 hours into the power outage. Good to know!
- Turns out my radio was not charged..
- We had candles and matches ^_^
- I should really get an emergency balcony solar generator for times like these..
- In times like these, i'm happy we cook on gas and not electricity...
