I almost didn't wake up in time, but I rolled out of bed at 6:50 am and somehow I made it on time!

I have to ask, did the ground shake and did you have to run for cover for all the dust.

Yeah the ground shook and I could feel the explosions and the force of the building falling vibrating through the ground and my body. It was pretty intense. At first I just started walking back to my car but the duck cloud started to burn my eyes and then I ran!

my classmates were telling me about it and i really wanted to go see it but i have to study for a lame test i have on tuesday. looks pretty neat though.. hopefully our garage won't be all icky with dust come monday morning. lol, one of the days during constructing i came back to my car COVERED with a thick layer of dust. needless to say, i started parking on the other side of the garage after that incident.

the police are investigating a report that there may have been someone inside the structure on the fifth floor in the middle. a video taken from the face of your side (from St. Luke's) apparently shows this person run to the edge, then run back. if you have any shots from before, you may like to look closely and send them to hpd.
