Minnesota Bridge Collapses - Tragic Event

Tragedy too close to home ... we were alerted around 6:00 last night that the bridge leading to downtown Minneapolis that travels over the Mississippi river had collapsed. There had been some light construction on the roads leading up to the bridge for general upkeep ... no one expected this to happen. Our TVs and radios are full of stories from survivors and emergency officials ... all are just in shock as if this was just a terrible nightmare. We fortunately do not go over that bridge much during the work week and our family and friends have all been accounted for. This has been a very unreal event and will be a long road of recovery not only for the families that were affected but just to rebuild the bridge. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those families.
