This story is just horrific. I logged on GC today to make sure that we heard from Ladygreek, Delph and any other peeps from MN that are on here.

Praise God you all are safe! I started bawling after my sands told me...things like this really get to me. Especially knowing that my mother takes a bridge to work every single morning.

Also, reports are out that the death toll is down to 4. The original claim of 7 was based on theory, not actual remains.

Our local paper reported nine, though. And there are still at least 20 people unaccounted for. This is still so unreal to me.

When I first heard about the story at work last night, the first thing I thought of was LG and Del (because ya'll are the only people I know in MN). I glad that both of you are safe and will be praying for those who have been affected.

Glad to hear all are safe and accounted for. Praying for those lives lost and those that have yet to be accounted for in MN.

I am so glad that you all are safe. I forgot my company has an office in MN, they said it was located 15 mi from the site.

Glad to hear that LD and Delph are safe (as well your family members). My prayers definitely go out to all affected.

I can't even imagine. I'm sure everyone was just sitting there in traffic (probably griping like we all do ) making plans for the evening and then all of a sudden something terrible like this happens. Tomorrow is just not promised and then we all somtimes forget that, especially when we get busy with all the things going on in our lives.

May God comfort everyone involved. And don't forget to tell someone today how much they mean to you.

Thank you all for your prayers and act of concern. I'm so grateful to God that my family and friends were not affected by this.

There are so many sad accounts: A lady that I know had just ridden under the bridge as it was falling (she was on the city express bus); my coworker's friend's mom was on the bridge when it collapsed and is in critical condition right now.

So many people use that freeway -- it's a major freeway in our city. And though I don't live in Mpls., I commute through there all of the time when I commute to church, get my hair done, etc. I'm just thankful.

Continue to lift our city up in prayer.

I was reading about this yesterday on Yahoo wire they were talking about Flip Saunders who use to coach the T-wolves and he was driving and he was talking that he takes that bridge everday but didn't that day only because traffic was backed and his daughter was follwing behind him as well, other they both would have been on the bridge because he saw it collaps, and when I read this I thought of LG and Delph because they are the only people I know of that live in MN.....so I am so glad to know that both of you are ok as well.
