SEATTLE (AP) – Northwest residents might be thankful for a brief break in the rainstorms, if the forecast for tomorrow is correct. The National Weather Service says skies should be mostly clear on Thanksgiving Day, and there might even be a patch of blue. Rains bracketing the holiday could make travel difficult in places, especially for those driving over Cascade mountain passes.
MOLALLA, Ore. (AP) – A Clackamas County sheriff’s deputy says a collision with a commercial truck knocked a school bus onto its side near Molalla, Ore., injuring the two female students on the bus. Deputy Marcus Mendoza tells KATU-TV that the students were taken to a hospital as a precaution after complaining of pain. The injuries received yesterday weren’t serious.
SALEM, Ore. (AP) – The Oregon State Police say the number of courthouses that received bomb threats Monday has increased to 28. Authorities initially reported that 17 county courthouses were targeted in what apparently was a coordinated effort. State Police Lt.

Twenty-two of the 28 courthouses were evacuated, along with a state office building in Salem that houses the State Police headquarters.
