The Elks Lodge on the square here in Clinton Missouri caved in a few hours ago. Hundreds of people were gathered up there when Zippy & I went to take a quick look. The best we could do was to just stay out of the way. I hope they get everyone out. I don’t personaly know anyone that was at the Elks Lodge tonight but I’m sure I will hear about it tommarow. I hope the only thing permanently damaged was the building.
Follow Up:
CBC had something to say about it. Aparently one man did die. Tony Comer, the leader of the Elks Lodge.
CNN had something to say about it. A video too.
That is f#cking insane! Can you imagine you are just sitting there eating and the whole floor crashes out from underneath you?
I work in a building the same age as the one that came down and we do a lot more bangin around then just eating. I definately don’t like the chill it sends down my spine. All the buildings on the square need to be evaluated.
