Sanford Power Outage Affects Thousands

On November sixth, a massive power outage in Sanford, Lee County, left nearly two thousand people without electricity. The outage, affecting one thousand eight hundred fifty-six customers, was reported around five AM, with Duke Energys equipment suspected as the cause. However, a local charter school, Ascend Leadership Academy, suggested a possible link to an early morning accident on North Carolina Highway eighty-seven. The school, along with many businesses and traffic lights, lost power, leading to a full-day closure. Authorities are investigating the exact cause, with restoration times yet to be confirmed.
