NC power grid attack

[slimmer13]

Moore County residents are under a curfew Sunday night and for the foreseeable future as Duke Energy responds to a targeted attack on two substations that knocked out power to thousands of customers and could take days to repair, officials said at a press conference Sunday afternoon. The county has also declared a state of emergency.

Sheriff Ronnie Fields said gunshots were fired at the substations taking out the power first in Carthage about 7 p.m. then shortly thereafter when a second substation was attacked, spreading to the greater majority of the county. More than 40,000 customers were without power.

Wow, talk about a power struggle.

Wow, talk about a power struggle.

Ya, must be a real drag for them right now.

Not the brightest idea.

They don't have the energy to power through this one.

 

[Xaevian]

Can hardly wait for the next shocking development!

There's nothing static about this situation. This is going to shine a light on the fragility of our infrastructure.

Very clearly points out vulnerabilities in the system, too.

You can't say the word " infrastructure " anymore.
Unless you hand a liberal city council a minimum of $10K cash.

Love how the media immediately, without any evidence, tries to tie the story to Christian "right wing extremists."

Quite illuminating.

The spark that will lead us to a brighter future.

Probably all amped up on hate.

 

[raftman]

Let's not jump to conspiracy theories, it's important to stay grounded in reality.

 

[Nosferatu]

Probably all amped up on hate.

Or just wired.

Overloaded by all of the puns here.

You'll get through it, just remain positive.

I'd say that rusty gate and the rotten post holding it up were quite a deterrent.
