Shep is absolutely breathless. He's not the one to be covering this. He is just a bit too emotional. -it's his endearing metrosexual soul fully involved with his story.... (ducking)

If they use as much road salt in MN as we do in VT it would not be surprising if one of the steel members or a concrete pillar was weakened by salt.

Removing people from below the bridges for safety. Rescue workers caught in traffic. All hospitals in the area have initiated their disaster/crisis plans.

I was a junior at Point Pleasant High School, WV in 1967 when the Silver Bridge collapsed over the Ohio. Forty-six people died in that disaster. This brings back a horrible feeling in me. God help them all.

The streaming video on the Web which is the local broadcast on Foxnews website is so much more informative than Shep Smiths.
To: Bushbacker1
Shep is absolutely breathless. He's not the one to be covering this. He is just a bit too emotional. Just wait until Geraldo gets to the studio. They'll both be in tears, before they remember to blame FEMA...

CELL Phone circuits across Minneapolis are overloaded and cell companies are requesting to stay off the phones unless necessary.And, Shep is asking folks to use their cell phones to send info/pics to Foxnews? Sheesh!

Maybe not coincidences, there have been at least 4 instances of storm gates flying up on various highways around here.
