ERIE, Pa. (AP) - No injuries have been reported after a building’s wall partially collapsed following heavy rains in Pennsylvania.
Erie Times News reports (https://bit.ly/2sNEFRp ) the wall of the Jamestown Mattress Company in Erie collapsed Sunday night. The store manager says none of the merchandise was damaged.
The city’s manager of code enforcement says it appears water washed away the concrete floor in the store basement, causing the wall to give way.
The store showroom has been closed while officials wait for structural engineering assessments.
The wall has been temporarily secured, but a nearby homeowner was told to move cars out of an adjacent garage.
