UPDATE:
Old Cotton Mill Lofts:
2 areas of the roof. Moving news crews back. Building being evacuated. Structure not stable. FD fears a possible collapse.

UPDATE ON FIREFIGHTER — Just a sprained ankle - twisted on the rubble.. Still prayers for him though — been there done that.

TAKING A BREAK FOR A FEW MINUTES HERE (Need to stretch and walk around a bit...) will be listening though, and will update when I sit back down.

Gee, you read my mind or something.

Those old mills were never meant to be lived in. They were cheap industrial construction in the 1880s, for heaven's sake!

They had a bad fire in the mill while they were converting it to lofts, too. I concur with the FD that the whole darn thing may just fall down.
