"Flood warnings came to fruition early this morning, with more than 2 inches of rain falling at the Portland International Airport, 2.63 inches in West Linn, and 3.5 inches near Estacada. That's on top of 1 to 4 inches of rain that had already in the region earlier this week, according to The Oregonian/Oregon Live. The National Weather Service warned of the flooding on Thursday, particularly near Johnson Creek and the Clackamas River. Some Clackamas County residents had to leave their homes near the Clackamas and Molalla Rivers last night, and the American Red Cross opened an emergency shelter at Gregory Forum (19600 Molalla Ave.) for people who need it. The O has you covered here."
"Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield simply will not stop suing the Trump administration! Earlier this week, Oregon joined a lawsuit along with 15 other states and the District of Columbia, arguing the Trump administration is unlawfully withholding more than $2 billion in electric car charging programs. The money was allocated to states through President Biden's infrastructure bill, and was meant to help them expand their electric vehicle charging infrastructure. But the Trump administration's Department of Transportation is withholding the funds, which states planned to fund programs including an initiative to expand electric car charging infrastructure up and down the West Coast."
