I heard stories about people being trapped inside and people waiting at a traffic light on their bicycles getting caught up in it.

The fire department and others are urging evacuation due to the risk of a gas leak, so I think Ill tidy up the shop and evacuate, they said.

I could see dust clouds, too.

The building had been vacant for years.

I heard that the construction would start this month and continue throughout the month, they said.
