And now, we've got a big storm front moving in; I can smell ozone and rain, and the light is that weird luminous yellow-green of impending deluge. Just what the rescue people at the scene need.

I just -- the impulse is to keep waving my hands around and saying You don't understand, I go over that bridge ALL THE TIME. I was driving over it Monday evening! it's only a mile from my house! This is in my neighborhood! How can this be happening?? So so weird, to have one's neighborhood bridge, the environs of one's daily life, on the national news.

So far the fatality reports are surprisingly low, so I'm trying to be hopeful. But I keep thinking of all the people I know at the U who commute over that bridge, whose schedules would very possibly have taken them there at that moment.

It's almost horrible to think that until this happened, we were almost begging for rain. I wish I could know before tomorrow morning whether any of my coworkers were involved.

It's surreal to see the coverage on the BBC's website, too.
