Here are the top stories today in Huntsville:

1. After thousands were left without power from an attack on a North Carolina power grid, Huntsville Utilities has attempted to reassure users of safety. They've outlined they have security measures they can't fully release to protect them and spoke about how the April 2011 tornado outbreaks significantly impacted and strengthened these measures.
