Will Viola be able to cross again?

Took This Picture 3-16-2009
It is two miles across

With the disaster in Japan makes one wonder how safe we are?
Will we be afraid to cross to the other side, take a cruise to Alaska or just stay home
setting in the corner? A Few year ago a boat carrying steel, hit the middle section at the highest point and several cars fell with the section of bridge (I believe 9 died).
At home we have rivers to cross with banks to high for a vehicle to cross
even Plate River which had been channeled out so it would not wander back and forth with a lot of curves. There was a crossing in the old days just south of 36, where Candy Creek ran in to it, was a gravel bar crossing there the wagons would cross.
The same with the Missouri River When I was a teenager they straightened it and we went up on Wyeth Hill and watched them blow open the new opening.
Now with all the bridges I figure we would be cut off from every one and try thinking of trying to survive if a Natural Disaster? Could we do half as good as Japan?
