We are preparing for an extended outage of power as most of our county is dark after an attack on two power substations here.
Most of Moore County, North Carolina, lost power Saturday night around 8 pm due to damage from gunfire in an attack that has made national news already.
According to county officials, a disaster declaration is expected within hours, with no clear timetable for power restoration.
We will do our very best to get everything in our shipping queue, including some patreon orders, out as soon as possible.
Most of our writing and social media staff is located out of state, so we *hope* to still publish on our regular schedule; however, video content may be curtailed this week.

We appreciate your patience during this challenging period and will reply to messages and emails as soon as possible.
