Two power substations in a North Carolina county were damaged by gunfire in what is being investigated as a criminal act, causing damage that could take days to repair and leaving tens of thousands of people without electricity, authorities said Sunday.
“We will have folks out there tonight around the clock,” Fields said.
With cold temperatures forecast for Sunday night, the county also opened a shelter at a sports complex in Carthage. “We are looking at a pretty sophisticated repair with some fairly large equipment and so we do want citizens of the town to be prepared that this will be a multiday restoration for most customers, extending potentially as long as Thursday," Brooks said at the news conference.“As we move forward, we'll be taking it day by day in making those decisions,” Locklear said.
