Normally I'd be quiet, but realize that not all news travels, even when
it's bad. I don't know whether it's been restored, but last I heard,
traffic on I-5 between Portland and Seattle was completely cut off, and
traffic was being routed through Yakima (making a 3 hour trip into a 7
hour trip). Oregon is very hard hit. Here's the Washington map; it's bad
enough here.
