Power to be restored a day earlier than expected following supposed attack in NC: Officials

Global News published this video item, entitled “Power to be restored a day earlier than expected following supposed attack in NC: Officials” – below is their description.

As Moore County in North Carolina enters a fourth night largely in the dark, Duke Energy officials said Tuesday they plan to restore power a day earlier than planned. Meanwhile, at an afternoon news conference, Moore County officials said there have been more than 600 calls to 911 since the power outage began.

Authorities have investigated hundreds of the calls — from burglary to EMS to carbon monoxide concerns.

Moore County deputies said investigators are “leaving no stone unturned” while they look for whoever attacked two electrical substations, plunging 45,000 customers into darkness after 7 p.m. local time on Saturday.

Meanwhile, on Monday, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper warned of a “new level of threat” after this weekend’s gunfire attacks on two electrical substations that left almost an entire county in the freezing dark. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Monday that the White House is “monitoring” the situation.
