Officials estimate that the blackout left at least 40,000 people in one county without electricity, which has yet to be restored.

Authorities said Sunday that power may not be restored until Monday or Tuesday in a central North Carolina county that experienced a widespread outage that is being investigated as a crime.

The extended power outage will be because the power cannot be rerouted like it is during a storm and the equipment will have to be repaired or even replaced, Brooks said. There will be a curfew starting at 9 p.m. ET on Sunday, Fields said. Schools will be closed on Monday. Moore County residents began to report power outages around 7 p.m. ET on Saturday, according to the sheriff's office.
