I am from Bozeman, so when the radio news I was listening to said there had been an explosion on main street in Bozeman, I flipped! The first thing I did was start calling my family and make sure they were all OK. At the same time I was googling, the Bozeman Chronicle and TV news stations, to see what had happened. Wow, the images I was seeing were so surreal. I couldn't beleive so much of my beloved downtown Bozeman was gone. I just kept hoping that no one had been hurt. Unfortunatly, one person lost her life. My heart goes out to her family and friends, I am sure she will be greatly missed.
By the time I was able to go to Bozeman and see for myself the distruction, one side of main street had been opened. As we got closer to the explosion site, the tears welled up in my eyes, it was so real to see the distuction, my emotions just overcame me. I grew up here, these are the streets I know like the back of my hand, and now part of my own memories are gone. I'm sure some day the buildings will be built up again, and be even more beautiful, but for now I will just have to miss the old landscape of downtown Bozeman.
