Storm Damage
Fox 5 is reporting live from Kroger. They say gravel from the roof flew through the air "like shrapnal." They're showing cars crushed by an air-conditioning unit that fell from the roof. One employee was injured with a broken arm. They say everyone in the store was evacuated because of a gas leak. The store will be closed because there are unstable walls. Wes Tallon, who works as a communications director for Douglas County, was credited onscreen as working for the fire department. He was at the Kroger talking to Fox5.
11Alive News on myAtl tv was showing eyewitness reports. They say the roof collapsed. A man who was interviewed said the air-conditioning unit flew over his car and landed in the parking lot.
