Power cut around middle of afternoon creates fury (7)
I believe the answer is:
outrage
'fury' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'power cut around middle of afternoon' is the wordplay.
'power cut' becomes 'outage' (I've seen this before).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'middle of' indicates the central letters.
The centre of 'afternoon' is 'r'.
'outage' placed around 'r' is 'OUTRAGE'.
'creates' is the link.
(Other definitions for outrage that I've seen before include "Shock horror!" , "Scandal" , "Shocked anger" , "Gross injury" , "Strong reaction of anger or indignation" .)
