Sniper Attack On Calif. Power Station Raises Terrorism Fears

Last April in San Jose, transformers were knocked out at a power station when one or more snipers fired at least 100 rounds into them. Investigators say they don't believe it was an act of terrorism, but other experts disagree.

People don't think about visiting the Oregon coast during the winter, but it can be a great time to visit. Two winters ago I visited Yachats, OR in winter and it was spectacular!
