The blackout in Iberia today was a test

Everything here went dark from 11:30AM until 11:30PM.

I'm a small prepper and work from home so I was safe, had supplies ready for around 1 week and had my radio on the whole time from when everything went down to when it came back up.

The amount of misinformation and conflicting information that was being transmitted on the radio was alarming. At first it was just Portugal, then Portugal and Spain, then all of Europe, then it was just some parts, then it was everywhere again.
We were told power was being brought back to some areas, but curiously enough I work internationally and some of my Spanish and French colleagues said that they were lying and the power wasn't back like they said. This went on for hours.

The first estimates for when the power would return was 1 week. Then it turned to 3 days and in a matter of 30 minutes, our PM said it'd come back in 6-12 hours???
I heard people on the radio say it was a cyber attack, then it wasn't, then it was a solar flare, then it wasn't...

The sources of info were always vague and honestly it's almost like the ones in power weren't sure how to play with this situation and just wanted to test the waters.

We still aren't sure what happened, but a power grid doesn't just magically go down.

This shit was a test.

If you're an European reading this, don't be a faggot and go buy supplies, buy a medic kit, buy a radio, buy a flashlight, get a backpack ready.

I'm thankful they're giving us another chance, but maybe next time will be the last time they collaborate and give us electricity back.

Whatever is coming in the next months/years is going to be life changing. Get ready.

have you considered that you're fucking around with Russia and finding out?

Hospital de dia

E de noite é o quê?

don't be a faggot and go buy supplies, buy a medic kit, buy a radio, buy a flashlight, get a backpack ready.

real chads don't prep at all since they will thrive in the chaos

there are people who don't know goldeneye is real

as are all the older bond movies

real chads don't prep at all since they will thrive in the chaos

you are 14 years old

random radio schizos were flip flopping

Is this a suprise to you, Manuel?

The only thing surprising to me are the amount of brazilian women I see coming here to marry Portuguese men. Why don't brazilian cuties want to be in relationships with you Jailsons?

Everything here went dark from 11:30AM until 11:30PM.

Isn't your entire country dark? Like, all the time?
(NIGGERS)

For Espana, James?

Get guns and knives, drones, molotov cocktails, so you can attack and defend against non-whites.

Spouting out contradictory information seems to be standard procedure when something sketchy happens. Like they want you confused and not knowing what to think.

Racial contamination is a death sentence.

had supplies ready for around 1 week

Round these parts we call that grocery shopping.

If it was a test, it was a test about information control without the internet. A cyber "pandemic" Klaus was obsessed with.

Russia

democrat faggot

See
Fucking kek

Yeah I was retarded explaining myself. I meant 1 extra week of supplies after using up my usual groceries, toiletries, etc. that I buy every other week

Thanks for sharing anon
This was definitely just the beginning

You can rest assured this was the work of America/Jews. Make no mistake your power grid is about to be in a hostile take over.

It doesn't have anything to do with Russia. This is your work. I should know.

I do wonder what is really going on. Have you seen the official explanation?

the outage could have been the result of a rare phenomenon called "induced atmosphere vibration," which caused "anomalous oscillations" in the high-voltage lines

They are going to get away with this word salad explanation but... what really happened?
Usually I would brush it off to mere incompetence but my gut tells me the US is making some kind of move after Vance killing the pope they're up to something...

Monkey chow + vitamins + water
Anything else?

Based thread OP. Have a bump, we really appreciate your first person experiences and insights.

If I was being invaded, by foreigners looking for free shit I would shut the power down too.

Everyone knows it’s globohomo retard. The Spanish PM was just meeting with Chink Xi about doing more business with the chinks a fucking week ago. Clearly this was some kind of message. The Portuguese are probably just interconnected and therefore collateral

What's funny is that today was a big pay day for the jeets as the big markets closed and since the jeets took over 90% of the small businesses over the past decade this means they managed to sell all their stock today. I wouldn't put it past the jeets to orchestrate this whole thing.

when things get bad, people will get tough and angry and kill them and this time there is no continent to run to and if they think antarctica is a safe zone, they're delusional

Yeah I don't really think Russia gains much from taking down a few power grids, especially Spain and Portugal, and not acting further on it. Besides I doubt a cyber attack of this magnitude could be fixed in 12 hours.

Whoever did this is an "ally", it was an inside job and they let us off the hook as a test. I wouldn't be surprised if we go down again the next few days/weeks.

They literally picked the easiest countries to get away with this too, Portuguese and Spanish niggers will forget in 2 days and we'll be back to watching football and talking about reality tv show gossip 24/7

Then once it happens again, everyone starts panicking because no one was ready.

My brother says he saw 2 boomers fighting for water outside a convenience store and this was 3-4 hours into the blackout. I can't imagine this civilization after 2-3 days of a blackout

I'm back niggers. The sad part is that this has not been the worst blackout I've endured in the last 12 months. Got a full week of it, with electricity coming back for 20-30 minutes (sometimes just 5) after every 12-20 hours. Being poor sucks, and so does living in a multicultural, working class neighborhood (full of gyppos and moors, I mean). Anyway fuck niggers and death to jews

Some guy at FC (take it with a grain of salt) says his friends works at a nuclear central and has told him it was beacuse renewable got a big oscliation and fucked the system. Also, my dad works for nintendo

It was an internal memo of REN that got leaked to the press. I very much doubt it, that seems like counter infornation from the goverment. Real reason was probably a cyberatack but its gonna get swept under the rug again like the Vodafone hacks that the Russians did before they invaded Ukraine. My theory is that it was probably China that did it to test it against the USA when they pull the trigger on Taiwan.

Jeets, pakis and the chinese (who have literally dozens of convenience stores on every block) literally banked huge with this. They sold out on literally everything.

They're takin' our 'lectricity

But they need electricity in order to fuel the system that enriches and empowers them. They are fucked if anything happens to "the grid"

Spain has been going hard in defense of Palestine so maybe the Americans did this as a warning to lay out of Israel. If Spain changes their tone you know 100% this is what happened.
That doesn't make sense because then in your hypothetical China would be showing their cards and weakening their position for such a hypothetical future attack (which I also don't think makes sense).
I really think the only logical thing that makes sense is that the Spanish PM has been talking shit about Israel and being pro-Palestine for a while now. Nothing EVER happens around these parts but the second a PM starts going hard against Israel the power grid goes down... what a coincidence.

its pretty crazy how literally in the dark people are without power
just completely clueless to what might be going on
I mean it could have been a nuclear holocaust and no one would have known

Not really, the rest of us had power and we would have had happenings threads about the unexplained seismic phenomenon and radiation readings if that was the case. The Ukraine war should have taught you by now nothing can be hidden, only obfuscated at best.

I'm feeling sleepy, aren't you guys? It's pretty late maybe we should all revisit this tomorrow with a fresh perspective.

Burn them down.

Go look at a map, faggot

Remember to tune into the VORW shortwave broadcast, Europlebs

This shit was a test.

Took people long enough. The writing is on the wall, get your supplies ready.

Why doesnt it make sense? Russia did the same thing. They have to test the atack before they pull it off on their real target. The only thing this proves to me is that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan is happening very soon if my theory is correct. Have you heard of Volt Typhoon?

i live in the sticks, power going off is a regular occurrence to the point we have batteries, inverters, generators etc. my parents have drawers full of candles. When the power goes out here we just stick everything in the chest freezer because it stays ice cold for 20+ hours but usually the power is only out for minutes not hours

11:30AM until 11:30PM

A normal power outage for me is a nationwide happening for europeans. Interesting.
But in the event of a real happening wouldn't it be retarded to have a radio on the entire time burning batteries unless you have some solar power radio?
Have supplies stocked too is also a brainlet strategy. When I bought my property a requirement was a freshwater source or 0.25 miles maximum from a stream on my property to the source. Then land where I can setup irrigation from the spring to water plants I grow, hills don't matter since you can make water go uphill without electricity. Having the means to eat and drink are far more important when shtf than a stock of supplies. And most people who have a stock of supplies brag about it in America at least. I have a physical map where I find their addresses and mark them down. Medicine, metal canned goods, mason jar preppers, ammo, etc. So if I really need supplies then I know where to scout out to see if they are still there. Anything in a 15 mile radius I keep mentally noted and have penciled out the best ways on foot to get to, angles to approach covered by woods, etc.
At the end of the day you only have yourself and your immediate family to care about. I don't care if you seemed nice in the office, when shtf I know you are a supply cache.

I have family in Portugal and Spain that still haven't answered me. How the fuck is this not being covered anymore?

Yes but I wouldn't know. All I knew was what the radio was telling me and the radio was saying a lot of different shit. Like OP said, one week, then three days, then today. We had no phone service, we had no 4g, trains didn't work, people were stuck in the elevators and inside the subway. One of our ministers said that the hypothesis of a cyber attack "couldn't be ruled out" and left us with that until all of a sudden, all the Portuguese authorities were able to confirm was that the source was in Spain and so far that was it, that's that explanation we got. Atmospheric pressure caused a power surge in Spain which basically led to the Spanish, Portuguese and Southern French circuit breakers firing off. What the national grid engineers of all three countries were doing at the time, I assume, is masturbating to cartoons instead of rerouting the surge to avoid tripping the breaker of two entire fucking nations. It's calculated that altogether 1% of the combined Iberian GDP was just thrown out today, also, both countries together were burning about 80000 litres of Gasoline per hour to keep the emergency services running through generators, which means that even if everyone in Iberia swapped to EVs, it'd take 30 years to make up for the ammount of gas we consumed today alone, which I find hilarious, because I hate EVs.

Most people were in their car when it happened, which is the reason people were listening to radio in the first place. Then those who weren't used their phones' radio to keep updated. In my case I used my car to charge my phone to full then used it to listen to the radio.

Sweet

I'm just making the point wasting time and resources when shtf just listening is peak npc. You stated earlier that others were fighting over water a few hours in. In 12 hours people won't be fully hostile yet so if you really need an update you could ask and let others waste their time and resources listening to radio. I'd recommend a cheap chink solar or crank powered radio if you don't have one. If shtf does happen then any communication past a few weeks won't be useful and will just be the "government here to help" which means they want to reclaim control by controlling the flow of resources to make you dependent on them. Kind of like how things are now when shtf and normies are already fighting over supplies since everyone relies on turning the faucet on for water. Should have been a wake up call for people but most will have forgotten this happened in a few weeks.

Yourawholesomefaggit

If you can see it why can't everyone else who has power see it? I think it doesn't make sense because they would be exposing their gameplan too much, I can understand if this was a warning or something else "we can do this to them and we can do it to you too if you keep it up" kinda message but not a test because all that test accomplishes is show your enemies how you operate so they can prepare for your attack better in the future making your attack less effective (no surprise effect anymore).
You can't possibly tell me you guys think it's a coincidence that this Spanish PM constantly trashing Israel and defending Palestine suddenly gets the power grid taken out... maybe the jews asked donald to make a show of force against Spain so they shut the fuck up about Palestine. That just sounds way more likely to me but I'm open to other theories

I do not disagree with you, however it wasn't me who saw people fighting for water nor did such things occur anywhere in my area. Things were pretty chill, stocks were also maintained, the only thing we ran out of was candles and bread. I know we have the same flag but his ID is different.

my spanish friend told me that the news in madrid had a really weird looking picture of an alien on it just before the power went out
unfortunately he didn't have time to record the image before his tv turned off

If it was an Industroyer 2.0 or a stuxnet/trisis type deal they'd be retarded for blowing the zeroday on Spain of all countries (on a Monday, too, get real).
You save these for sniping France off the eurogrid or to cripple 1/3 of the US or something.

renewable got a big oscliation and fucked the system

This has happened before and its the most likely explanation imo, but never at this scale. Generators trip offline or break off their part of the grid (called islanding) if the grid itself goes above or below certain parameters. If a critical number of stations go offline they would chain react and trip everything else offline, called a grid cascade.
Odessa in 2016 is the biggest one I can think off and it was less than 2GW of power loss. We just had 15GW drop in 5 seconds.
If it was that much and that fast there's no real way to mitigate that. FFR is too slow and UFLS would just throw the whole grid offline anyway, you cant really shed 60% of the grid.

They have to test the atack before they pull it off on their real target

This is the literal complete opposite of what you want. The point of zerodays is that no one except you knows that vulnerability exists.

They marry tugas for the money and passport

You should be thankful the jews haven't pulled the plug on your shitholes completely. Less siestas and more work you fucking lazy goynigger.

They are below the ground in highly technologically advanced facilities. Get real moron, they create money, they don't need to enrich themselves idiot.

nigger, basicamente isto estava previsto de acontecer. já tinha acontecido algo semelhante alguns meses na puta da Espanha e cagaram na cena. depois nós os burros, para ficarmos bem na fotografia e sustentar as mafias económicas da "economia verde", fizeram isto de propósito em fechar centrais a carvão e a gás, e ficarmos dependente de Espanha. Eles querem centralizar a puta da energia toda, e isto foi apenas 1 teste para o que ai vem.

mais hilariante é ainda dizerem que isto foi por causa de 1 fenómeno meteorológico, tipo mas pensam que somos burros ou que caralho, e ainda em espaço de 5 segundos não sabem para aonde foi parar a energia.

cá para mim foram dar de alimentar a 1 geo-arma para destruir o núcleo da terra ou o caralho como fizeram no filme The Core.

autentica palhaçada, e só resta as pipocas para rir com isto. devem que somos niggers estes kikes da merda

Quando aconteceu algo semelhante, estás a falar do quê?

houve 1 falha enorme no abastecimento na rede em Espanha, mas conseguiram conter. os que ficaram afectados foram certas grandes empresas mas foi pouco tempo, nada haver com o que se passou hoje.

só mesmo procurando, eu lembro-me de ler isso assim de raspão há uns meses

Parece que há 5 dias a Cepsa mandou um parecer para a REN espanhola que eles estavam sujeitos a que isto acontecesse. E há 1/2 meses o próprio governo espanhol tinha-se autoivestigado e decidio que ya esta merda podia acontecer. E os Portugueses, i.e. a REN e a EDP, que assumo sabiam disto, em vez de se desligarem da rede espanhola nem que fosse temporariamente, cagaram no assunto. Nós levamos por colateral seja por design ou por negligência espanhola.

Eww imagine bagging the average Niggerzillian

imagine the dysgenic outcome

imagine the smell

Don't do that Moustachenon, unless you are a Moor then do it, embrace the dysgenic death

Redpill me on underground Hollow Earth dwarf Jews

Everyone is fucking rusniggers and finding out they're a bunch of retarded worthless pidors. How is this relevant to an electricity blackout in Spain?

buy a radio

So I can be misinformed just like you were?

Nothing ever happens. My country has coal power plants.

Chuddah.jpg - 682x1157, 143.22K

Actually, it was a proof that you suck and when the US pulls out I's finally be free.

Coal power plants wouldn't have saved you from this. It was not a matter of energy self-sufficiency, at the moment Portugal is running disconnected from the European grid and 100% self-sufficient. What happened was from the Spanish node a huge power surge came through that hit the Portuguese grid, and just like a circuit breaker would trip, the Portuguese grid blacked out because otherwise a lot of shit would've broken with an insane surge innit. Then the process of slowly starting the grid without overpowering it or exploding the average Portuguese's home appliance began, and that is what took 12 hours. We had two back up hydroplants ready for such occasion, which are powering the country right now. The issue is, if Portugal keeps being 100% energy independent then electricity prices will go up, and right now, every Portuguese person will tell you that's alright, but in 10/15 years, the same person will inquire as to why the prices are so and that the government should tackle energy prices.

blackout affected 50 million people

lasted 12 hours

happened due to a drop in frequency

Lmao, today's blackout was basically a repeat of one that had already happened 20 years ago?
Good to know we seemingly learned nothing, typical mediterranean complacency, we deserve what we get.

This. We are so unironically fucked it’s not even funny. God forbid you try to warn people of the coming pole shift and micro nova because they’ll just call you a schizo

Power outages are a good time to go lynching

Brazilians are already Portuguese though

preper in Iberia

fucking doubt, your fruit tress make so much food it rots on the ground across the entire peninsula,fucking shit man
not even a target of anything besides mudslimes

Micronova drops shouldn’t be allowed outside of /x. You need to be open to the pill in order to digest it.

Thanks for the info anon, that was about what I suspected.

First tought I had

Power outages in Spain, Portugal, Andorra and France.

"It's just a continent size atmospheric fart, guyz"

It's obvious it's fucking aliens. They're testing our infrastructure.

This is a Tier 2 Foothold Test. A direct covert assault on vital enemy resources.

First they shut down our nuclear weapons, and now they're shutting down the grids. Their understanding of our macroscopic energy distribution system is a significant advancement, this goes beyond mere localized disabling of missiles.

We're VERY close to encountering a Tier 1 incursion.

It’s a suppository

Could not have said it better myself. Third time the charm, perhaps.

that feminine shabbos faggot mentions the holohoax nearly half the time he reviews jewish goyslop poison

Lots of fear mongering lately. First mumps, now this. Suck it.

I've only seen a few of his reviews, but he hardly talks about that on the radio show. He read listener feedback recently and IIRC some of it could've been YouTube-ban worthy, albeit quite benign otherwise.

What does he say about it?

Thats what I call carbon credits, cha-ching.
