Yesterday I was wishing for news! Be careful what you wish for, right!Today I get this e-mail from long time friend and contributor Dr. Dave. Dave has been reading and occasionally commenting on Boisee since about the beginning and still sends a missive now and then from his new home in Minneapolis. Happy your safe my friend. We are all sorry for your cities loss. . . Here is Dave's comment.
Comment: From Dr Dave. here is a story for you, 8 lane freeway went down yesterday, I was at work when it happened, but it is pretty close to my route home after work, so I went down to see it, The bridge lay in the water, obstructing water flow in the mississippi river, thousands of people were lined up on the adjacent bridge at midnight, rescue crews were going crazy, black hawk helicopter swooping around with a spot light, and the eerie feeling of shock surrounded the area. Cars were piled up on top of each other, and the water roaring into and past them, a school bus sits along side them in the mess. 7 dead 20 missing, and many hurt.
