Time lapse videos from the Vikings (the first link) and an EarthCam video (it was snowing this morning when the deflation happened, hence the “fogginess” in the video):
A View From Inside Of The Dome Going Down (and also outside)

The vast majority of the dome is scheduled to be gone by Opening Day.
The Vikings have added a third webcam to the demolition/construction, this one looking southwest, facing the east end zone/left field side of the Metrodome (you can see them starting to use the roof fragments as construction tarp on the left field corner entrance, aka Gate H).
Video of the severing of the roof cables from Sunday morning:
