NOTE Confidence: 0.7784237 00:00:02.490 --> 00:00:04.282 The storms last night damaged a historic NOTE Confidence: 0.7784237 00:00:04.282 --> 00:00:05.460 school turned apartment building. NOTE Confidence: 0.7784237 00:00:05.460 --> 00:00:08.690 Here's 5 on your sides, holding her wiki. NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:08.690 --> 00:00:10.376 As storms roll across Saint Clair NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:10.376 --> 00:00:12.580 County and all kind of sounded like a NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:12.580 --> 00:00:14.590 almost like a train was coming through, NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:14.590 --> 00:00:16.282 Melanie Martinez and her kids sought NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:16.282 --> 00:00:17.680 shelter inside her freeberg home. NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:19.354 My kids were freaking out because NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:19.354 --> 00:00:21.332 of how loud it was. Her neighbor, NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:21.332 --> 00:00:23.018 Dylan Wetstone, was at a concert NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:23.020 --> 00:00:24.996 in the city when he got a call NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:24.996 --> 00:00:26.536 that his apartment was hit NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:26.536 --> 00:00:28.640 by the storm. In my head, I NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:30.728 was a picturing a giant hole and just NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:30.728 --> 00:00:32.783 the rain coming down from the storm NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:32.783 --> 00:00:35.100 and getting all my stuff. It's a nice NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:35.678 apartment building, NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:35.678 --> 00:00:38.650 so it's kind of sad to see it like that. NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:38.650 --> 00:00:40.228 When firefighters arrived at the scene, NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:40.230 --> 00:00:41.718 they discovered the roof had been NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:41.718 --> 00:00:43.140 completely blown off the building. NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:44.365 But Freeberg's Fire Chief tells NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:44.365 --> 00:00:45.923 me a unique feature of the NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:45.923 --> 00:00:47.313 historic building may have saved NOTE Confidence: 0.85363084 00:00:47.313 --> 00:00:48.948 the people inside. It has two NOTE Confidence: 0.85998166 00:00:48.950 --> 00:00:51.030 roofs on it. The original roof kind of NOTE Confidence: 0.85998166 00:00:51.030 --> 00:00:53.167 follows the contour of what you see there. NOTE Confidence: 0.85998166 00:00:53.170 --> 00:00:54.754 And then there's another roof that NOTE Confidence: 0.85998166 00:00:54.754 --> 00:00:56.340 was added roughly 75 years ago, NOTE Confidence: 0.85998166 00:00:56.340 --> 00:00:58.139 and it looked like it was mainly NOTE Confidence: 0.85998166 00:00:58.139 --> 00:00:59.664 in that second roof, you know? NOTE Confidence: 0.85998166 00:00:59.664 --> 00:01:01.360 So we we had a good idea that NOTE Confidence: 0.85998166 00:01:01.416 --> 00:01:02.940 there wasn't people trapped, NOTE Confidence: 0.85998166 00:01:02.940 --> 00:01:04.428 but want to make sure everyone NOTE Confidence: 0.85998166 00:01:04.428 --> 00:01:06.034 got out of there before there NOTE Confidence: 0.85998166 00:01:06.034 --> 00:01:07.429 was any injuries to him. NOTE Confidence: 0.85998166 00:01:07.430 --> 00:01:07.690 Thankfully, NOTE Confidence: 0.82782094 00:01:07.690 --> 00:01:09.748 no one was. Injured in the collapse, NOTE Confidence: 0.82782094 00:01:09.750 --> 00:01:11.115 though, there was at least NOTE Confidence: 0.82782094 00:01:11.115 --> 00:01:12.480 one person still inside. He NOTE Confidence: 0.8037004 00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:14.118 was still sitting in his his NOTE Confidence: 0.8037004 00:01:14.118 --> 00:01:15.214 apartment there, watching TV. NOTE Confidence: 0.8037004 00:01:15.214 --> 00:01:17.118 The power was still on and all NOTE Confidence: 0.8037004 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.031 that as crews worked to clean up NOTE Confidence: 0.8037004 00:01:19.031 --> 00:01:20.950 the area. My room's OK, I think, NOTE Confidence: 0.8037004 00:01:20.950 --> 00:01:23.126 but there's the rest of the building is NOTE Confidence: 0.8037004 00:01:23.130 --> 00:01:24.138 not good. What's known, NOTE Confidence: 0.8037004 00:01:24.138 --> 00:01:25.989 and many of his neighbors are staying NOTE Confidence: 0.8037004 00:01:25.989 --> 00:01:27.729 with friends and relatives in town NOTE Confidence: 0.8037004 00:01:27.729 --> 00:01:29.408 until the building can be repaired. NOTE Confidence: 0.8037004 00:01:29.410 --> 00:01:30.502 I hope it's quick. NOTE Confidence: 0.8037004 00:01:30.502 --> 00:01:32.412 I I doubt it will be, though. NOTE Confidence: 0.8037004 00:01:32.412 --> 00:01:33.500 It looks pretty bad.
