Minneapolis, MN
Whilst 01-1992 Lucy - which was only discovered by astronomers in January 1992 - coasted by Earth at a distance of tens of millions of miles, astronomers and observers were shocked to see several pieces of the asteroid unexpectedly and suddenly break off as it flew by Earth. There was no warning or time to prepare.
Although most of the fragments either veered away from Earth or burned up in Earth's atmosphere, the large piece - dubbed "Lucy 2A" by scientists - shot through Earth's atmosphere and began to wildly disintegrate. The US state of Minnesota would bear the brunt of Lucy 2A, whilst smaller fragments would make impact in the Atlantic Ocean and lead to tsunami warnings...on both sides of the Atlantic.
Meteor fragments emanating from the disintegration of Lucy 2A made impact across southern Minnesota, the United States' fourth most populous state and rather coincidentally - as if right out of a clichéd Hollywood movie script - the Greater Minneapolis area would absorb much of the impacts.
The megacity that was the Greater Minneapolis area, with a population larger than Greater Tokyo and home to 42.47 million people, descended into chaos. Meteor fragments smashed into skyscrapers, bridges, highways and electrical lines and large swathes of the city and suburbs were plunged into darkness.
Panic quickly set in and although Americans usually pride themselves on persevering through the worst of natural disasters by remaining bold, strong, firm and United, the sudden meteor impacts were unparalleled.
Whilst looting became a major issue, it was the carnage, damage and casualties that were even more devastating. The Beaver tower, the USBank building and One Canada Court all collapsed within two and a half hours after the structures of the 80+ floor skyscrapers could no longer withstand the extreme heat and damage caused by direct impacts. The surrounding areas around those skyscrapers were left in chaos and disaster and many buildings around them were also damaged, resulting in tens of thousands of casualties.
Minneapolis Mayor Harry Johnson - who was lucky to be alive after surving the impact and explosion near city hall - and Minneapolis Governor Trent Monday were both quick to act. The Carson City Space Company - which was headquartered in Minneapolis - also quickly rose to the occasion and it was coincidental that TCCSC CEO and Chair Bob Clayton was in the city at the time of the impacts. TCCSC quickly coordinated

Hello everyone,
I am currently weighing my options for CFY this year and I heavily considering a position at am SNF facility in Rochester Minnesota. I’d be relocating to Minnesota from Puerto Rico.
I found the position through a recruiter from RehabCare. Does anyone here have any experience with this company and/or working in similar settings in Minnesota? Any words of advice and suggestions would be appreciated!
I’m not including the name of the facility because I’m not sure if should? But I understand it’s in the NW of Rochester. Any suggestions for places to live would be great!

I guess it makes sense that the Jazz would be the last team remaining. They play in the least-populated city in the NBA, so they must be more well-protected.

- LA: 13.2 million

Never had much luck with dating, so I figured I'd give this a shot.
Obligatory ice-breaker: I'm 5'10", ~20lbs away from my weight goal, black curly hair, green eyes, and a full beard. My hobbies include working on music (my educational field is Music Technology), gaming, films, and cooking. Love most animals (My mom's a vet, so I grew up around a menagery of animals that range from Llamas to reptiles to even predatory fish) and have an English Mastiff as a family member. Bit of a coaster junkie, but pickings around here are rsther slim. I've been told I have a big personality when I open up, so if you can deal with that, more power to you.
I’m a little worried about getting home sick and have never visited Colorado before. I’ve been researching online and haven’t found many answers so I thought I’d ask some locals. What are the best places to eat? Are there certain asian neighborhoods (ie. koreatown, little tokyo, thai town, etc) or would this be more of a thing in Denver? Thanks in advance!
I was just in Barcelona and enjoyed the walkable aspects of it. Any surrounding areas similar to that in Atlanta?
Due to the obscurity for this case, I've only been able to find an FBI ViCAP article about this serial-offender.
Between 1994 to 1995, four women were sexually assaulted by an unidentified man in Baltimore City and Howard County, Maryland.
In August 1994, the Baltimore City Police Department (BCPD), Maryland, investigated the sexual assault of a white female who was attacked outside in the rear of a dwelling at approximately 3:00 a.m.
On April 5, 1995, the Howard County Police Department (HCPD), Maryland, investigated the sexual assault of a white female who was attacked in the parking lot of her apartment complex. This assault also occurred at approximately 3:00 a.m. Both of the cases (BCPD & HCPD) have been linked by DNA.
On April 7, 1995, two white females were attacked in Howard County, Maryland. The victims were attacked outside, with one event at approximately 3:00 a.m. and the second event at approximately 4:10 AM. The suspect description and method of operation in these cases are very similar to the two previous cases listed above; however, there is no DNA for these cases.
The unknown suspect had high cheek bones, sunken eyes, crooked teeth, and hair shaved on the sides. He wore a black silk jacket, an aqua button down dress shirt, black tennis shoes, and baggy blue jeans. He was a black male, around 20 to 22 years old, had brown eyes, 6,0 feet, 180 to 200 pounds, with black hair.

I have a 8 and 10 year old that want to start or join a local Minecraft club. Essentially, we are looking to setup a weekly time to play Minecraft online together. We have both Java and Bedrock editions.
Please send me a message if anyone is interested or have information on local Minecraft clubs.
I’d prefer advice from people who purchased a home recently- since the Covid housing boom. I’ve been starting to research home buying and ownership online, but a lot of the advice is very general or clearly not applicable to our area. Would love to gain some wisdom from you all. For context, we are looking in the city proper, not the suburbs (I wish). Thank you!
