A portion of the ceiling in a Charlotte hotel collapsed Friday afternoon after heavy rains caused a pipe to burst. Erik Slemon and his father, Allan Goldberg, are from Miami and were staying at the hotel to attend a men’s clothing trade show.
“In a matter of seconds it got a little stronger,” Erik Slemon said. “I pulled out my phone and I shot it and the whole ceiling just came down. The whole lobby was flooded in a matter of five seconds.” No one was injured, and there is no official damage estimate from the flooding.
