Sheriff: 'Intentional vandalism' at substations causes power outage affecting nearly 39K Moore County (NC) residents
WRAL News ^ | December 4, 2022 | Cory Dinkel

Posted on 12/04/2022 7:41:58 AM PST by Perseverando

Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields said Saturday that the outage was being investigated as a "criminal occurrence." The vandalism appeared to be intentional, but the motive is unknown at this time.

A massive power outage is being reported in Moore County.

A Duke Energy outage map Saturday evening showed 37,998 customers without power in Moore County; The Randolph Electric Membership Corporation also reported nearly 3,000 customers without power in the southern part of the county. As of Sunday at 8 a.m. 38,890 people are without power, according to a Duke Energy outage map. WRAL viewers began calling in to report outages around 8 p.m. Saturday. The outages for Duke remain unchanged, and power isn't expected to be restored until 10 p.m. Sunday.

Jeff Brooks with Duke Energy said crews are experiencing "multiple equipment failures" that are affecting substations in Moore County.

"We are actively investigating signs of potential vandalism related to the outages," Brooks said.

SouthernPrepper1 was also reporting on this story: Breaking News...Electrical grid in NC attacked...Vandalism or something more sinister?????

By the way, Moore County is northwest of Fort Bragg.

Hmmm? Just some good old fashioned vandalism or domestic terrorism?

Wow This happened northwest of the soon to be renamed Fort Bragg.

The local cops (did the FBI tell them to do this) actually knocked on the door of woman opposing an LGBTQ “drag show” in the area last night.

I guess she was the first suspect on their frickin list.

Vandalism? Seems a bit more like sabotage or terrorism.

"Two hours earlier, Rainey had posted the message: “The power is out in Moore County and I know why.” And around the same time, she posted a picture of the Sunrise Theater, which was putting on the sold-out drag show, with the caption “God will not be mocked.”"

So...the cops SHOULDN'T have paid her a visit? Even though she said..."The power is out in Moore County and I know why.”

It’s a relatively easy matter to take out a few transformers with a high powered rifle, happened a few years ago in California.

https://www.inquisitr.com/1123226/california-power-station-attack-snipers-take-out-17-transformers

At the time I suspected it was instigated by Chinese agents to test how easy it would be to pull off something like this. I’ve always thought a grid attack would come before any exchange of nukes. also think a biowarfare attack would come before any nuclear exchange too. There’s probably hundreds of thousands Chinese agents embedded here, and they woud be activated in any military confrontation with the US.

Must be Putin.

Seriously though, it could be environmentalists, terrorists trial run, etc.
How many OTMs with nefarious intentions have entered into the US via Mexico?

She knew in her heart.

When I was young and obsessed with a woman a fantasy video played in my head of the power of media and government being used to coerce the woman into being ‘my lover’.

That woman told me I needed to find a ‘mature relationship’ well I wasn’t ready back then crazy disconnected from reality selfish sexually.

That crazy, selfish, disconnected from reality sexuality is now normal and my fantasy video about government and media imposing my sexuality on another person is morphing into reality.

The Higher Authority is upset for sure if this woman sees that as the situation that is what she sees.

But of course other crazy people are out there who may choose to react to drag shows or military base name changes.

And the FBI is now feeling immense heat from “The Twitter Files” revelation.

They need to create some diversion from the evidence pointing to their Insurrection Against President Trump in October of 2020 suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story with Donald Trump their boss in the WH.

As I recall, Moore County is a quiet area in the sandhills, including Pinehurst, Southern Pines and Whispering Pines. It is a popular golf haven. Very strange.

Good point, the FBI has become the American version of the KGB. I wouldn’t put anything pass them these days.

The “religious nut” did it well there are “anti-religious nuts” in the world, too.

Pardon my emotions I get your point but I make mine was well.
