We're okay.

Reporting from the Twin Cities: We're okay. Our families are okay. Derrick's cell phone has been ringing off the hook--his family isn't from the cities--and all they know is that I work downtown, so they're all making sure we're home and not dead. They don't know that Derrick and I don't usually take 35W home.
On the other hand, due to a work outing our whole office got off at about 5:45 instead of 5:00--so a few of my co-workers narrowly missed being on the bridge when in collapsed.
I keep thinking that so many of our random friends COULD have taken 35W home at that time, but it's unlikely, and we've been in touch with most of them. My sister decided to take W. Broadway home instead of 35W at about 6:00. A most fortunate decision, all considered.
Holy crap.
