Reports of 'panic buying' in supermarkets with many left without water There are widespread reports that many across Spain and Portugal have been left without running water, with many homes given access to drinking water via electric pumps - which have obviously been affected by the power outage. Several people have been in touch to say they've seen people "panic buying" water and other supplies in supermarkets across Portugal and Spain. Kye, who's in Foros de Amora to the south of Lisbon, says people rushed for cheap still water at first, but are now turning to take sparkling and expensive brands. He shared these images from his local supermarket... It's a similar situation across the border. Keith tells us that queues at the Carrefour in Estepona, near Malaga, are lengthening as people rush to buy water and other essentials. Alison says "It's like COVID times again in the Algarve. Massive queues for fuel, and no water or toilet rolls in the supermarkets!"
