Thousands of residents in a North Carolina county entered their third day without lights and heating on Tuesday after 'targeted attacks' on two electric substations over the weekend caused widespread outages and shut down schools across the county.

“We are looking at everything right now,” Fields said. “There’s absolutely nothing off the table. We’re investigating all leads."

A state of emergency with a 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew was brought into affect in the county, with shelter arranged for those in need of electricity for medical devices or heating."Due to the continuing widespread power outage in Moore County and on Moore County Schools operations, all schools will be closed to all students and staff on Tuesday," Moore County SchoolsSpokesperson for Duke Energy Corporation Jeff Brooks, center, speaks on Monday at the Moore County Sheriffs office.

“We are restoring customers where possible, but the damage is beyond repair in some areas. That leaves us with no option but to replace large pieces of equipment — which is not an easy or quick task,” Jason Hollifield, Duke Energy’s general manager for emergency preparedness said in a statement. The energy company asked that customers turn off appliances and other electrical devices that may have been on when the power went out so there will not be an immediate surge on the system once power is restored.

Why can't the Federal authorities ferry in generators to assist. It's emergency. Where are their Senators and Governor?

Domestic Terrorism

Sounds like terrorism.

How was it that easy?

Conservatives have got to be the most insecure people out there. To leave a whole town without electricity because of a drag show. How much money are Republican small business owners losing?

Climate change is coming. When can we get our EV charged?

So, what about the resigned special ops army captain as a suspect that’s friends with the Chief of Police? Rumor or verified?

Unbelievable

Now would be an excellent time to bury those lines.

and the rest of the corporate media hoping it’s a conservative/white nationalist that wanted to shut down a drag show.

Domestic terrorism perpetrated by someone who’s *former military* do better with these headlines

Why do these critical infrastructure facilities have no security or very least any surveillance . W h y ?!?!

Loved your theory NBC news. “Attempt to shut down a drag show”. The left never takes their foot off the pedal.

Just more amred violent MAGAt domestic terrorism

Might want to take notice! If it’s this easy? Security is a real concern! JustSaying

Domestic terrorism

Trying to force a drag show (in a community that doesn't want it) leads to this.

Hunter laptop totally legit. The Prez Big Guy was paid by China.

CIA? FBI? Climate Liars?

Perhaps they need a bus load of illegals from Florida to arrive?

Can you say Federal Prison

Drag queens and their shows are not terrorists. But whoever did this is.

The people investigating this crime are the ones that did the crime. Good luck North Carolina

Reds.

So what you're saying is we cannot trust government to take care of our infrastructure so build infrastructures to take care of yourself

FBI Joins Probe Into North Carolina Shootings That Caused Power OutagesTens of thousands of Moore County residents are still without electricity after what officials say was a targeted attack on the local power grid.
