We Interrupt the Scheduled Post…

Filed under: Woes — Kristi at 6:50 am on Thursday, August 2, 2007

For those who haven’t heard, a major bridge spanning the Mississippi river collapsed last evening at 6:05 pm - towards the end of rush hour. Both DH and I have several friends and family in the Twin Cities Metro area. My family has everyone well and accounted for, though there was one very near miss! We have heard nothing about DH’s family living in the area, but trust that no news is good news. The same goes for a friend of ours.

I know many of you who read are in Minnesota. I hope you and yours are all okay! Regardless, my heart goes out to everyone waiting on news of loved ones in the Twin Cities, whose loved ones are injured, or those who have lost loved ones!

On the contest - I’ll be posting the yardage and such tomorrow, so get your guess in by midnight (Mountain) to be included!

I’m grateful your family is safe and pray that DH’s is as well, but still my heart breaks for those affected. Anyone who lives in areas connected by bridges lives with that fear.

This was such tragic news. My DH travels through Minneapolis sometimes for his job; I was just relieved he wasn’t there at the time. So glad your family is okay. Though I imagine they are in shock over the whole thing.

I’m glad to hear your family in the area are safe. This was seriously one of the most frightening events of my life. Ugh.
