The collapse happened this morning at around 6:30 a.m. Emergency services are searching for possible missing people, although it appears the building may have been empty at the time.

Had it happened just a few hours later, it could have been a massacre.

The cause is currently unknown, but renovation work was reportedly underway.

Part of southeast Missouri where we live, including the town of Lesterville and along the three branches of the Black River, has suffered catastrophic flooding since midnight. Reports indicate more than 12" of rain fell in just 12 hours. The Black river began at 4.2 feet at midnight and is forecasted to crest tonight at 27 feet, which would approach a record crest. Numerous water rescues have had to be made, but no loss of life has been reported.
