"What the F is going on, did you just see that? It went flump," said tourist Vicki Herbert. "I'm a little worried the roof is going to go, showmp!"

ABC7's Stephanie Sierra asked. "When it failed, it crashed into the gas pumps, and we had a gasoline-fed fire," said Drennan. "No injuries of any kind but that property has been red-tagged."
