In response to "Why is Oregon different? -- nm" by mara

Small population = infrastructure that cannot handle this influx of tourists.

Gas stations are already reporting being out of fuel. Huge lines at grocery stores. Two lane highways that can't handle the traffic. Lack of port-a-potties.

Being the rural state so close to Washington and - more importantly - California means that the population of the state could double over the next couple of days. We can't handle this.
