In the municipality of Pombal, there are also places without electricity. In Aldeia de Redondos, everyday life takes place in the dark and with great difficulty
With a flashlight on his head, Armando organizes what little he can with what he has at hand. He is used to living in France. Just came in passing.
“I think it was the first time I was scared (…) At the same time, when I left in the morning, I was practically happy because nothing serious had fallen on the house or the van.”
The street where he lives became blocked. To clear the way, it was necessary to use electric saws.
Without light, the situation becomes more difficult. To understand the extent of the damage, the solution was improvised. A drone helps you see from above what is no longer possible to observe from the ground.
Inside the house, the scenario is no better. The tasks are done slowly, by candlelight.
