Rain causes Megastore roof to collapse

Heavy rain was apparently the cause Friday of the partial collapse

of the roof at the Virgin Megastore in the downtown shopping

district.

No injuries were reported in the incident, which happened at about

3:40 p.m., Burbank Police spokesman Sgt. Jay Jette said.

A 25-square-foot section of roof caved in on the store at 851 N.

San Fernando Road, Jette said.

"It looks like there was an excess amount of water accumulated on

the roof," Jette added.

"Everyone left the store without incident."

He did not have an estimate of how many people were in the store

at the time, Jette said.
