Panic buying sweeps blackout hit Spain and Portugal

Shelves are emptied, huge queues form at petrol stations and cash points and air passengers face huge delays with officials warning of days more chaos

Panic buying has swept Spain and Portugal as nationwide blackouts paralysed both countries, shutting down transport networks and prompting people to clear supermarket shelves amid fears the chaos could last for days.

Huge queues formed outside shops and banks as residents and tourists desperately sought to stockpile essentials and take out cash as much cash as they could amid the uncertainty.

Rows of cars were pictured lining up at petrol stations as people hoped to fill up their vehicles and fuel cans, with expats detailing how they have tried to power generators to keep their homes going.

Airports have also been hit by the outages, with flights delayed and cancelled and holidaymakers in Portugal warned by the countrys flagship airline TAP Air not to travel for their flights until further notice.

A British holidaymaker in Madrid described the situation in the city centre as carnage, telling MailOnline: People are starting to panic. Its going to get really bad if they dont restore power quickly.

Madrids Mayor urged people in the city to stay where they were as the disaster unfolded, while the president of the citys regional government called for Spains prime minister to activate an emergency plan to allow for soldiers to be deployed.

Power outages gripped Spain at around 12.30 local time, plunging millions into darkness. Spains nuclear power plants automatically stopped, but diesel generators were activated to keep them in safe condition, officials said.

Trains and metro services were shut down in both countries, with people stuck in tunnels and on railway tracks, forcing evacuations.

Portugals electricity grid operator warned that it is impossible to say when the power supply would be fully restored, adding that while all resources were deployed to resolve the issues, it could take up to a week to fix.
