Was not 100% sure on where to post this.

One of our bridges to pretty much the only major freeway in the area collapsed. Several cars went down with it, but I believe that so far there are no deaths. Here are some pictures I took. They are SOOC, just to share what happened today. It felt very unreal.

Both the northbound and southbound side of I-5 went down. Each side consisted of two lanes.

Had to go out for a job interview this morning.... Traffic was horrible. All the side roads through Mount Vernon and Burlington were just packed from the freeway traffic going around.

I drove over that bridge many times. It seemed old 25 years ago!:confused:
Very Lucky that no one is hurt too bad.
