Portland, Ore.
BC saw 569 deaths from heat this summer, and now they are dealing with record floods. The money spent rebuilding is money they will not have for improving other infrastructure. And many of those homeowners will be wiped out. BC also had many large and damaging fires. Yet there are those that choose to ignore this area and so many others that have seen catastrophic weather events in the past 5 years.

Does this mean, I should have gone to see it before it was burned down and washed away?

Wonder what kind of concern Donald H and Trudeau have for their countrymen. Probably not much, they think they are part of the US government.
 
The northwest is getting the worst weather in the United States over the past 12 months. Record heat, major fires, and now flooding and mudslides. They cannot catch a break.

Yes, we are not used to bad weather in the Pacific Northwest. The Willamette Valley has, or maybe had, one of the most livable climates in the world. After that week of extreme heat, topped out at 116 F here in Portland, Oregon, I saw no small birds here, except for hummingbirds, for two months. And the insects virtually disappeared for the whole summer. We drove from Portland to Biggs Junction for a geology lecture, roughly 250 miles, and splattered not one bug on the windshield.

Not normally very many bugs along the Columbia gorge seeing how high winds usually dominate the area. As for livable climate in Portland? HaHaHa. If you like RAIN or are a BLM/Antifa sympathizer. Are you trying to abscond with Grants Pass's motto now?

2C below peak temperatures of previous interglacial cycles. It's called weather, dummy.

Portland averages 42 inches of rain a year, the national average is 38. We have more rainy days in the fall and winter as our rain is usually a mild drizzle or mist.

As opposed to Sacramento--12", and Spokane--12". Take your averages down the road moron--they don't mean shit when talking about climate in one area. They get 600+ inches of rain on Kauai, and over 100 inches on the Olympic peninsula of WA and way less than 10 inches a year in the southwest of the country--what does that do to your averages moron? No wonder OR schools are not requiring grades anymore--they were failing miserably and needed to cover their asses--You're proof.

LOL My, my, a dumb fuck got his panties in a wad. Yes, it means that we get about the same amount of rain as does many cities in the US. We just get it spread out more. And we have a far milder climate than most cities.

Less see. Not many bugs in the gorge as compared to other places, that is true. However, this is the first time I have driven the gorge both ways, Portland to Biggs Junction and back, without splattering at least a few. Grants Pass has a nice climate if you like breathing smoke. But, of course, that is something that is becoming ever more the case everywhere in the Northwest.

I hit lots of bugs along the river in that area. Klamath Falls is where I got the most bugs, as usual, had to clean off the windshield when I got into town.
