Everyone okay in MN?
To Amy O. and anyone else from Minneapolis - Just making sure you are all okay and were nowhere near that bridge today. What a terrible disaster.
Best, Sue

Yes, I am okay! I haven't heard yet from Amy - but she lives in Stillwater, so hopefully she is okay as well.

I have family in Minneapolis & White Bear Lake, but an uncle who travels that bridge daily... luckily he is on vacation and everyone else is OK.
My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone here from MN!

I'm here! Yes this is all so shocking. Its a bridge everyone here in the cities travels on. So far I haven't heard about any friends or family involved. Its a very sad day here in MN.

We just heard about an hour and a half ago that one of the employees where I work is among the missing
 I don't know him, but my heart goes out to his family/friends. It's such a bittersweet day with referrals arriving.

I am so glad to hear that everyone here is fine.
Tracy, I hope you get good news about the missing person from your work soon. BTW, there are two girls (who were interviewed on CNN) currently looking for their missing mother who adopted them as infants from Colombia. They are just devastated. There are still many people missing as a result of this disaster and I pray that they are safe. Last edited by smbcpc : 08-02-2007 at 09:35 AM.

Our health insurance guy for my work called a little bit ago. Seeing if everyone at my work was safe. A client of his was involved & broke both of his legs...fortunately he survived.
My sister-in-law emailed me saying her boss went across that bridge 5 minutes before it fell!

Yes, this missing Mom is actually my "China adoption" friend Tanya's former boss. Tanya works downtown here in Minneapolis, too and has a LID of 11/23/05. Small world, too.

Tracy,
Unfortunately this mom did not make it. How awful. I feel very bad for her husband and daughters.

They didn't mention the daughters' age but they appeared to be about 16-18 years old or so. They spoke so lovingly about her.

We are from MN as well as DH's entire family and all are safe too, but we know one person who made the 64' drop and lived. Her photos are bone chilling.
