Locals react to building collapse in Grenada
SUMMARY: In Grenada, cleanup may take weeks after a historic building collapsed downtown last night, leaving rubble and debris. The nearly 100-year-old structure, which had just been renovated and repainted, succumbed to wind pressure during a storm. Earlier roof damage from Hurricane Katrina further weakened the building, leading to the collapse. Fortunately, no one was hurt as it happened at night, but the event was still a shock to the community. Robert Willis, the building owner and city engineer, had commenced renovations. The area remains dangerous due to debris and unstable remnants of the structure. Live reporting from Chris NS for WTV 9 News.
WTVA reporter Chris Nalls spoke with locals about the overnight collapse of a historic building in Grenada.
