Storm unleashes landslides, power outages in region
Both West Burnside and eastbound I-84 are closed Wednesday morning as many residents lose power.
Landslides closed major roads in the Portland region as thousands of residents were without power because of a major overnight storm.
In Portland, a significant landslide closed West Burnside near Southwest Barnes Road, Portland Fire & Rescue tweeted late Tuesday night.
Officials said the landslide at the Pedestrian Bridge east of Barnes brought trees and power lines down in the area and knocked power out from Northwest 21st Avenue to the west.
The closure is expected to last for many hours.
Amid the horrors of Wednesday s violence, the words we heard from local people continue to resonate.
A Portland-area rabbi told us that, in January, her congregation begins its annual reading of the Book of Exodus: the story of the civil disobedience of midwives who wouldn t commit murder, and the emergence of a liberation leader. But the anger and violence and vandalism on display Wednesday in Washington weren t that, she said, and shouldn t be confused with it.
A high school history teacher spoke with sadness, saying that America has made many mistakes over the centuries, some of them horrific, but we could always say we got this one thing right: the peaceful transition of power. And now, I guess, we don t get to say that anymore.
