The vehicles parked on the upper levels of the garage could be stuck where they are for months, CBS 58 reported.
CBS 58 reported Ellie Nakamoto-White reported employees of nearby Rocky Rococo's said they heard a loud crash and thought it was something like a train passing by.
I just heard from employees at the Rocky Rococo’s next door who say they heard a loud crash and thought there was a train passing by or something similar. They tell me they didn’t expect to come out and see the damage left from the garage.
