The "expert" on CNN is probably like the people who say that New Orleans is still closed down.
I was worried, but I was also exhausted and fell asleep before I could post. I'm glad you and yours are okay.
Who knows how long it will be before it seems real? In some ways, 9/11 is still not fully real in my mind. I remember being on the observation deck, looking down and thinking, "Man can't do this."
I thought about you last night, but then I didn't see it until right before the babies went into "I'm sleepy Screamfest", and then it was trying to get them to sleep, and then blah blah blah... I was going to check on you this morning. Now I don't have to.
I'm sorry about your friend's husband. And yes, those damn "experts" suck. I don't know much about how your part of the river flows there, but considering it's only a few hundred feet wide and it's been so hot, and it seems you'd be past the snow melt stage even a bit further north... Gah. Idiots. And I'm sorry, MN divers should be prepared for seriously cold dives. They should be able to safely search for survivors even if it's December (does the Mississippi freeze up there? Wow. There's a thought. I can't even imagine that... but then again, it's like 3000 feet wide and super deep here, not at all like what you have up there).
Woah! I had NO clue you were in MN! I got in contact with all my LJ friends in the area, and I missed right over you! So sorry ... that brings my count up to 10 people on my list from MN! ... what's up with you people and that place! ;)
Just heard about the accident this morning! (Don't do TV). I didn't know you were in that area either. Glad to hear that you and your family are okay. I have a very good friend from St. Paul. Think I better call.

Okay, I'm rambling. Can you tell?
