It's just that one corner of the building that it took out, you know.
00:05
But they can shore all that up.
00:07
It probably be okay, but they got engineers over there looking at
00:11
it.We tried to go through there about 10:00 this morning.
00:13
I didn't know what happened, you know, and uh.
00:16
And the road was blocked off.
00:18
I said, "Oh my lord, Broad Street.
00:20
Something, something big is going on." So I got on my phone and looked around on that whole block and kind of around where I said,
00:27
"Some, some people are running through the building."
00:31
I said, "That ain't good."
00:33
I showed him a picture, but yeah, it's, um, I don't know.
00:36
There's piles of brick and stone everywhere.
00:43
Well, you know, at one time there
00:47
was a lumber company in back of that building.
00:51
In some other buildings back there.
00:54
I think that's what the name of that company was.
00:59
Seems like that's what it was.
01:01
Back when my brother and I was in the service station being assigned on Broad Street, corner of Broad and Pope Street.
01:09
Uh,
01:12
good lord.
01:14
Well, the one thing it showed was always a lot of traffic going up and down Broad Street there.
01:20
Village.
01:22
Well, I was seventy-eight.
01:24
You know, going that way, out of the highway.
01:30
Yeah, yeah, back in the valley.
01:32
That's the only way you can really get there, I guess.
01:37
That's it. And then 441 was up at milledge,
01:43
Millage and Broad.
01:46
So I think it crossed over that road.
01:51
Yeah.
01:54
Yeah, I have it over.
01:56
That guy here,
01:57
he must have flipped his wig.
01:59
I guess over.
02:01
That ran his truck in there this morning.
02:04
Good, great.
02:05
Well, did anybody else get hurt in it? In it over? Uh,
02:09
a lot of bricks flying everywhere.
02:12
Nobody else was hurt or anything like that.
