I am so old, I remember when the U.S. had actual infrastructure to support modern life. Oh well.

Several Oregon school districts canceled Friday classes after utility companies announced they would shut off power to thousands of homes due to strong winds and wildfire danger.

The Sweet Home, Silver Falls, Santiam Canyon, Gaston and Corbett school districts announced there will be no school on Friday, Sept. 9. Portland Public Schools have closed Skyline and East Sylvan, both on the west side of Portland. On Thursday night, Oregon Trail School District in Clackamas County also announced it will be closed due to the power shutoffs.
