Roof torn off Brown St apartments: The storm Wednesday evening lifted the roof right off the apartment complex on Brown St. The roof came off in huge sections (top), much of which was deposited directly in the street in front of the building. Amazingly, though people were in the building and on the street at the time, no one was hurt. Here a view of the apartment building this morning, with the apartment units open to the sky and parts of the roof in the foreground.
