Catastrophe in Minneapolis

Although most of you are probably aware, a bridge in Minneapolis (35W) collapsed over the Mississippi River yesterday. It's one of Minneapolis' major bridges which anyone living in Minneapolis crosses, especially those living near campus. As you can imagine there are a lot of injuries and some fatalities. When I heard the news I was in disbelief as many people probably still are. It's such a strange feeling to be so far away when a catastrophe at home occurs; I have an extreme sense of disconnection to the whole event. I am very paranoid about the whereabouts of friends in Minneapolis, so if you're in Minneapolis and reading this blog though, please, let me know you're okay.
