Portland is a good hundred miles inland from the ocean. Not much chance of a tsunami hitting there, nomatter how much they need it. :-)

Boy...I don't know what I was thinking. I actually drove a 10k ton freighter up the Columbia River to Portland in, I guess, about 1966. We were hauling war supplies to Vietnam.

We had to wait for high tide to get over the sand bar at the mouth of the river...I suppose they still do. All I can remember about Portland is (ahem) Mary's Place.
