I'm also from the Twin Cities area. I should have been over in that area, had I gone to my appt. Thank goodness, I didn't. I did however have a cousin, his wife, kids, and my niece all in the immediate area, when it happened. My cousin had just crossed over the bridge apprx. 1-2 minutes before it collapsed. Another minute or two and my niece would have been on that bridge. She started her new job yesterday...first time that she ever in the area.
Thank You all for keeping all of us MN people in your thoughts and prayers.
