As many of you have already heard, we have suffered
loss here in Minnesota as a very busy highway bridge that spans the Mississippi river collapsed during rush hour. My daughter and I were just recently on that bridge on our way to shop at IKEA for some accessories for our booth at the county fair. The 8 lane Interstate 35W bridge, a major Minneapolis artery, was in the midst of repair and two lanes in each direction were closed. It was fortunate that the traffic was bumper to bumper as there wasn't the additional speed of moving vehicles to add to the speed of the collapse.
People were already lining last night up at the blood banks to donate and the Red Cross is very busy with offers to help, donations, and inquires into missing loved ones. The death toll is expected to rise as they are able to get into the voids in the collapsed sections and as they pull more vehicles from the river.
Cover them in prayer, donate blood where you are living, and consider a donation.
