crazy ...

By the way, you should change the thread title to say that it's in Minneapolis. We're having some thunderstorms, and I thought it might have been somewhere down here.

Yeah, good idea. Either add "River" to it, or change it to Minneapolis.

Hey all. This is where I live. I travel that bridge twice a week. Very scary situation. My wife used to drive that daily, but found an alternate route a while back. Hits very close to home though with all the calls I've had on this.
