Today in Oregon

A tornado comes down just north of Portland early this afternoon, though barely a F1, and a fairly big earthquake (R 6.4) broke off the Oregon coast yesterday. No tsumani, though.

Also, in New Zealand, Sir Edmund Hillary is dead. He was a classy guy, refusing to say whether or or his climbing companion Tenzing Norgay was the first atop Mt. Everest until Norgay's death. They were a team, he always said when asked.
