OREGON is a rogue state, say Robert McCaffrey of the Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute in New York and his colleagues.
Using the Global Positioning System, the geologists found that western Oregon
is rotating clockwise relative to the rest of the US, and is squeezing
Washington state (Geophysical ResearchLetters, vol 27, p 3117).
Luckily, it is only moving a few millimetres a year, they say.
