So now people are shooting up power stations?

Lots of people talk about domestic terrorism (frequently in a hyperbolic fashion), but North Carolina experienced something this weekend that certainly seems like it would qualify for the label. In Moore County, someone shot up two electrical substations on Saturday night. The attack took out the local power grid, plunging tens of thousands of homes into darkness and shutting down government services and schools.

Thankfully, the temperatures in that region aren’t expected to dip below freezing this week, but the disruption to everyone’s lives will still be significant. (Associated Press)Read More
