Emily Grace Rainey (Screen cap taken from a video of an interview Rainey did with WRAL in 2021) The lights are out in Moore County, North Carolina.
That we know for sure. We also know that the reason some 40,000 people have been without electricity since Saturday is because somebody “vandalized” two power substations. (And by “vandalized,” we mean that somebody intentionally shot up the two power substations in what appears to have been a deliberate effort to knock out the power in the county.
Some people would call deliberately attacking and disabling the county’s infrastructure an act of terrorism, but hey….) What we don’t know is WHY whoever did this did this.
But some folks think they know. Emily Grace Rainey wrote on Facebook: “The power is out in Moore County and I know why.” Rainey, it appears, is blaming the blackout on the drag queens.
