That's not unexpected. At least it hasn't flooded there yet...

That's old masonry that fell, and the high rise behind it is still standing and wearing its skin.

Brick walls fail because mortar has no tensile strength.

Cautious, it's still early yet, but I view your picture as very good news.

SD still standing, high rise appears unscathed, keep the good news coming.
