SUMMARY: A historic building in downtown Grenada collapsed due to recent storms, causing significant damage. Cleanup crews have been working all day to clear the rubble and debris. The building had been weakened by Hurricane Katrina and its roof collapsed earlier this year. Grenada Mayor Charles Laam expressed sadness over the loss of the historical structure, which stood for around 100 years. The building was owned by Robert Willis, the city engineer, who had recently started renovations. Witnesses said workers were painting and renovating it last week. More details and community reactions will be provided by WTV 9 News at 6 PM.
