Since the parking is beneath the mall, I'd be more than a little concerned if I was inside that mall. I hope they evacuated it.

That could have been tragic! Glad no injuries reported yet, and as you said, I hope they evacuated. Do they know what caused it?

No word of what caused it, but apparently they still have mall open so they aren't real concerned. I wouldn't be in that mall with a collasped floor below me! LOL
