COON RAPIDS, Minn. — With a backyard overlooking busy East River Road, Mary Kodada has grown accustomed to traffic.
It hasn’t bothered her much in the 15 years she’s lived here – until last Friday, around 12:30 p.m.
“I was sitting in my chair reading my mail, and I just heard a blast,” Kodada said. “I just… turned away from it with my hands. I didn’t know what it was.”
