Throughout the night we watched as emergency vehicles crawled through the snarled streets.<BR/><BR/>Minneapolitans put away their usual car-induced blinders and were quite orderly and the fire trucks, ambulances, trucks with boats, dive teams, collapsed structure workers (apparently Dakota county has some) all got through fairly quickly.
