Minneapolis - Checking in alive.

If anyone's been watching news tonight & saw the Minneapolis bridge that collapsed and was wondering if I'm okay, I am. I drive on that bridge any time I go to Minneapolis (which is a lot), but I was at work tonight when it happened. Monalisa, you weren't on 35W tonight were ya?

If anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, here's the story.

To summarize, a 4 lane wide, several hundred yard section of a MAJOR freeway bridge collapsed into the Mississippi River right in the middle of downtown Minneapolis tonight at about 6:05 pm (Towards the end of rush hour.) This is about a 30 minute drive from my current residence, but less than 10 minutes from some of my old houses.
