From AFDCS Auctions chair John White:<\/p>\n
With apologies, the pre-packaging and sending of final invoices for Auction 95 has been delayed due to vandalism in the county I live in – Moore County. Unknown parties shot-up multiple power sub-stations throughout the county, leaving over 40,000 people without power. The outage is estimated to extend to Thursday December 8th.<\/p>\n
As many of you know, I am a full-time Firefighter\/EMT with Aberdeen Fire\/Rescue. I was on duty when the incident occurred. We were busy all night running calls of various nature, and assisting law enforcement with traffic control. Today I am at my part-time station, and will be back at Aberdeen tomorrow (Monday).<\/p>\n
The lots have already been separated out by the winning bidders. As soon as power is restored, I will be able to get back to the task and get the invoices out to everyone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
According to The New York Times<\/a>, the local sheriff “said that the attack appeared targeted, but did not provide further details on a motive or suspect.” A state senator called it a “terrible act, and it appears to be intentional, willful and malicious.\u201d<\/p>\n
Some of the damaged equipment will need to be replaced completely, and the outages could last until Thursday for some power customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
