Mallorca hit by power blackout
Lightning strike blamed
Several areas of Mallorca were left without electricity late on Sunday afternoon and late into the night, apparently, according to Endesa power company sources, due to the possible impact of an atmospheric discharge - a lightning strike is thought to have been the cause - which affected the network for about an hour in some of the affected towns and municipalities, and the fault may even have been felt in some parts of Palma.

George WarnerLooks like bar reporting.
Rubbish article. Why wasn't this in yesterday's news and why do the facts sound made-up?
George WarnerAt a guess, the west side of the island is where the editorial of this paper live, and they can not see the rest of the island.
Why do you persist in not telling the full story? You seem to only focus on the west coast like the east coast doesn’t exist… the entire of the felanitx county lost power including Cala Ferrera porto Colom s’horta…. Then there was Cala ratjada which also lost power… There is more to Mallorca than the west coast.
