    I just found out about it a little while ago and my local news is covering it exclusively. They said that at least 3 people have died. This is so sad. It also sounds like a big storm is headed their way.

    Death toll rising.

    MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - Six people were killed when a highway bridge collapsed and hurled vehicles into the Mississippi River in central Minneapolis during evening rush hour on Wednesday, the city's mayor said.

    "We have confirmed it will be a very tragic night when it is over," Minneapolis mayor R.T. Ryback told a news conference.

    "Obviously this is a catastrophe of historic proportions," said Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

    Prayers are with them. I am hoping no one I know was in the area at the time.

    What a terrifying experience. Many prayers out to those involved.

    I wonder if the Mackinac bridge is now being checked.

    Gosh, what a frightening experience for all the people involved . It was so shoking to watch it on tv, I couldn't really believe what I was seeing. Prayers for the injured and those who lost loved ones.
