I'm looking for a downside here.
If Oregon's gets wiped out, that means Californian's can't drive up here, heorin usage in the U.S. would drop by 1/2...and if it takes out the arm pit of Western Washington (Vancouver; I mean seriously, you couldn't come up with a f**king original name? You had to steal one from Canada?!?), I mean seriously, party on.
I mean other than losing Intel I'm having a tough time seeing a down side here.

Hmmmmm
From Vancouver WA web site :
"In May, 1792, American trader/sailor Robert Gray became the first non-native to enter the fabled "Great River of the West," the Columbia River. Later that year, British Lt. William Broughton, serving under Capt. George Vancouver, explored 100 miles upriver. Along the way, he named a point of land along the shore in honor of his commander. ...." " In 1825, Dr. John McLoughlin decided to move the northwest headquarters of the Hudson's Bay Company from Astoria to a more favorable setting upriver. He named the site after Point Vancouver on Broughton's original map. Fort Vancouver was thus born. Finally, in 1857, the City of Vancouver was incorporated."
From Vancouver BC web site
" .... Archaeological evidence shows that coastal Indians had settled the Vancouver area by 500 B.C. British naval captain George Vancouver explored the area in 1792. Vancouver was founded as a sawmill settlement called Granville in the 1870s. The city was incorporated in 1886 and renamed after Captain Vancouver. "
oops
