I'm okay

[magenta]

Checking in to let everyone know that neither Martin nor I were on the 35W bridge when it collapsed. Don't have any links handy but it's all over the news. Called my Mom and brother because it's on CNN and I didn't want Mom to freak. Martin's Mom called before he could call her.

Going to light a candle for all the people who were on the bridge.

Please, people, post, even if it's just, "yes, I'm okay". Hundreds of people were on that bridge. It may be days before we find out all the info, since it looks like some cars fell into the Mississippi.

Sorry if I am not very coherent

Glad you and Martin are okay. Ghod. All of our clan and family are okay. Praise the gods for land lines (as opposed to cell phone only)

I'm glad the both of you are OK.

Laurel has a check-in post going in mnstf that you might want to check out.

Yeah, I found it after I posted that. Smart woman, Laurel.

I am *freaked*.

I'm glad to hear that you're both okay. I am, too.

Thanks for letting us know you and Martin are OK. Our local news station reports the Red Cross is setting up a page for people to request information re missing persons. They might also list survivors but I don't know that for sure.

Glad to hear you and Martin are ok. Sheri and I are ok, and we've heard from Otto, Steve, Scooter, Scott, Lisa and Jesmia.

who got beaned by a telephone pole
by the road people - i'd seen the game on lake street
thinking that's dangerous

I was looking at all the news reports this a.m. I'm so glad you were not involved. Hoping no one I know was on that bridge. Horrifying! It would be so even if it wasn't a bridge I had been over many, many times, but the fact that it is puts the news footage from hundreds of miles away from me into a new dimension.
