    Who do we know in MSP? Does Rosie live there or is she in the outlying areas?
     
  2. Little surprised the Twins are playing, but I guess it happened too late in the day.

    I can't imagine working that game and possibly not knowing what happened to friends and family.

    With an entire interstate getting wiped out like that, it's going to take a lot of people a long time to get home. Which will add to the nervousness that micro noted.

    Dept. of Homeland Security says it doesn't look like terrorism.

    Which means it's probably terrorism.

    I don't know if I can watch this for too long.

    I can't even imagine the death toll.

    Can't help but think a few Robert Jordan's rigged explosives to it.

    I wouldn't want to be one of the cops and other people who are driving around on the other bridge right next to it.

    Is that a semi on fire right next to the school bus?
    Also, how much longer will it stay light and how will that effect rescue efforts?

    It'll probably be light for about an hour or a bit less.

    Just realized there is a freight train underneath it as well.

    I hope like hell that the fact that one lane in each direction were closed will help the toll be lower.

    MSNBC saying at least one fatality.

    Also saying that up to 50 vehicles affected.
