Greetings: Day two. Many of us have radiation exposure after Tuesday's dirty bomb

(Alot of interesting articles from Oregon about Topoff 4 at the link if you're interested.

Best Quote of the bunch: "There are gonna be foreign national that are gonna be effected," said FEMA spokesman Darryl Madden.

Darryl sounds rather sure of an impending attack. I'm not going to conjecture anymore into that than a poorly phrased answer.)

Day two. Many of us have radiation exposure after Tuesday's dirty bomb
Posted by The Oregonian October 17, 2007 11:49AM


Federal radiation experts were out early today, on the ground and flying overhead trying to pinpoint the plume from the Cesium 137 bomb that exploded yesterday on the Steel Bridge. Until then, it's hard to sort out what to tell people exactly what they can or can't do, several speakers said at a morning press conference at the airport Sheraton.

There are 134 real-time real workers from the federal Department of Energy's Office of Emergency Response who were quickly deployed here after the blast. A similar response for the drills in Phoenix and Guam.

Since the blast, you've been glued to your computer, your radio and the TV station getting updates from local political leaders. Some of you are headed to the University of Portland, where a mobile hospital has been set up. Why? The regular hospitals are packed.

And this was the fake weather for the fake blast yesterday. Morning rain showers (nothing fake about that, as it turned out) with winds from the southwest at 8 mph. To throw a wrench at the rescuers, the wind fake shifted to west/northwest, and the real and fake rain continued.

A stay in your shelter warning hit the entire city of Portland for several hours. What this meant is that even if you were in your car, police were ordering you to pull over, stop and wait. Or so the drill went. Would that happen in real life? You're downtown. Your kids are across the river at school. On your mark, get set, decide.

Just more terra to scare us people that live here................

Its been raining here all week, and cold...........:hi:

I've spent a little time studying the Topoff 4 drill.
