Southern Pines North Carolina sits in Moore County — which gained national attention in December 2022 when gunmen shot out two Duke Energy substations, causing a days-long power outage for 45,000 customers. The city is in the Fort Liberty (Fort Bragg) military community zone and the Pinehurst golf resort area. Moore County's electrical substation attack was the most significant physical attack on US power grid infrastructure in recent decades and highlighted the vulnerability of unguarded electrical substations.
