I just heard on Fox News that there is a large landslide and a damn that broke in Clatskanie, Oregon. They said it is about 10 miles east of the Georgia Pacific paper mill and it is on Highway 30. It looks terrible but so far thank God there are not any injuries. I just pray that everyone is o.k. :pray:
Is anyone on here from around that area? They just reported that it is the Lower Columbia Highway mile post 67 and it was closed because they were worried that this may happen. They closed it this morning and they said this happened about 45 minutes ago. They said it sounded like thunder coming down. How scary!!

Clatskanie is north and west of Portland, not too far from the Washington state line. I hadn't heard about it. I don't think we have anyone from closer to there than Portland in Oregon and Vancouver, Washington.

I saw it on CNN.COM and it looked pretty bad. I am not anywhere near there. Thank God.

I heard about it on Fox News. There was a helicopter in the air at the time. What dramatic footage.

I wondered about you, Donna but saw you online so I knew you were safe.

Mel...I am glad you are safe, also.
