NEVER FORGET that while the pandemic raged & wreaked havoc as Halloween approached in 2020, the Oregon Health Authority had an official appear in a clown costume to report the daily death toll. Re-upping @lizzzyacker's masterpiece is an annual tradition. https://t.co/aIzaFAU2jp

How's this for a troubling sign: Portland now has 20 days of 100 degrees or more since the year 2020. That's more than any other decade going back to 1940. And we're only halfway through this decade! Find out more from @lizzzyacker and @mfriesen. https://t.co/nX7YmaNN3g
