State of Emergency declared, FBI investigating power grid attack in Moore County, sheriff says

A state of emergency has been declared after the electrical power grid was “intentionally attacked” causing a major power outage in Moore County.

The Moore County Sheriff’s Office confirmed those details in a news conference Sunday evening.

More than 34,000 people in Moore County are still without power. The outages began just after 8 p.m. Saturday night across communities in the area, according to Sheriff Ronnie Fields.

Sheriff Fields said firearms were used to shoot and disable equipment at two substations in Moore County.

Power could be out until Thursday, according to the sheriff’s office and Duke Energy officials. Duke officials added that the repairs will need to be sophisticated due to how damaged the substations were.

In the news conference, deputies said the FBI is assisting with the investigation, as well as the state Bureau of Investigation.

“The NC Department of Public Safety is working with our local and federal law enforcement partners and will provide the appropriate state resources needed to assist in this investigation,” NCDPS Secretary Eddie M. Buffaloe, Jr. said.

When asked whether this was domestic terrorism, Sheriff Fields said he couldn’t say whether this was domestic terrorism or not, saying he would leave that for the feds to determine. But he added it was absolutely intentional and the perpetrators knew what they were doing.

...

Deputies also announced that a curfew has been set for Moore County. It begins at 9 p.m. and will continue until 5 a.m.

It’s getting harder to tell the difference between AuntyFag, BurnLootMurder, and the Feebs.

If you have watched Ozark, then you can see how the fibs are full of queers. Hitler used fags, then desposed of them. Just another
spoiler alert, no conspiracy.

They are going to blame it on that woman who didn’t like taking kids to drag shows.

Temps are in the 30s in that area. Hospital is running on generator power. Multiple cases of carbon monoxide poisoning due to alternative heat sources. Multiple motor vehicle accidents due to traffic lights out. Awful.

Just hit reply on the last post. Reply was in general. The whole thing is to suppress the Twitter stuff.

Been a long time - I didn’t remember it when you posted it but I just looked at the article. Now it seems I remember it vaguely.

There are at least 1 million CCP members in this country (legally). Imagine if they coordinated attacks on the US power grid as the Chinese military was attacking the fleet in the Pacific. The first indication most of us might have of the flag going up would be the grid going down hard.

Prepare accordingly.

God forbid they find out that some young White boys were
simply screwing off for kicks. We’d never hear the end
of it.

I’m hoping that’s what it was....so you could be right on that note.

We’re cold here again tonight too. I am not looking forward to the brittle days as winter moves in!

That’s some life threatening and expensive damage for “simply screwing off for kicks,” no matter the age and race of the perps.

A new subdivision in our small town won’t be available for rent for several months. There is a shortage of transformers.

I agree with that.

I hope it turns out to be verifiable that it was a terror
attack. Kids do some pretty stupid things.

Could be the greenies were out for a bit of “fun.”

If it is Leftists, it will be interesting if the authorities
will man up and actually do something about it.

Murders, Riots, Looting, and arson sure didn’t seam to
bother those in control.

I get the feeling this is part of a robbery like some sort of Die Hard-lite.
