Update: Candy zipped over to see what she can find out, and here’s what we know so far (with pictures).
“The cable guy’s truck was smashed,” Candy related from the field. “The glass is shattered on the edge of the building, and it looks like something came down from the seventh floor.”
Firemen on the scene said it was either a lightning strike or possibly a structural issue with the concrete, Candy said, adding that the firemen also said that engineers would have to figure out which of the two caused the collapse. “There were no injuries,” she said, “but there are lots of limbs and trees down in the area from the storm, too.”
Photos of damage:
7:08 p.m.: Details are coming in slowly, but it appears there has been another partial collapse of a parking garage at a Turtle Creek apartment building. According to reports, the garage fronting, not the actual structure, collapsed, and nobody was hurt. It appears to be the Taylor Luxury Apartments on Carlisle.
