Disaster Strikes Minneapolis

I arrived home last night from vacation about 5:30. Soon after we heard the reports. An eight-lane main bridge in Minneapolis just collapsed, out of nowhere, during rush hour. The news has been plastered all over the nation, taking precedent on the morning news shows, front pages of newspapers, and the nightly news. How does a bridge just collapse? I live in a suburb of Minneapolis and St. Paul and have traveled over that bridge hundreds of times. It hits home.

As many have expressed concern and sympathy for those affected by this tragedy, I would like to as well. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who have been a part of this - however big or small. We have already heard about individual fatal stories and I'm sure more are to come. It could be a year before the NTSB releases their report regarding the cause. For some, one long year.

No posts today. Our thoughts are in other places.
