PLEASE PRAY!!!
If you have seen the news at all in the last 1 1/2 hours, the bridge over the Mississippi River between Minneapolis and Saint Paul collapsed. This was during rush hour, with numerous cars on the bridge and under it.
I've got lots of family that work down there and that is the route they use to get to and from work, and we haven't been able to get through on any of their phones.
Thanks,

I just saw the news story and came to 4Real to see if anyone had posted. We're praying fervently for everyone. I'm with you, Krisann - I hate bridges, too.

Praying, Paula. I grew up in earthquake country. I know just how scary sudden disasters can be.

All of our family is safe and accounted for. Dh drives this often to and from locations in his semi but today on his way back into MN he got unloaded in Iowa instead.
We were able to contact all of our extended family in the area as well.
Paula any news?
