There is no information yet regarding any casualties, but police said that there are alot of people under the rubble.

A man who lives in a neighboring building described the horrifying experience.

The building shook and then I looked out the window and you couldn’t see, I thought it was like a storm or something coming in. When the dust cleared, the back two-thirds of the building was gone, it was down to the ground.
