(Yuba-Sutter, CA) – As the consulting engineers predicted, the fire-compromised Hotel Marysville is likely to start falling, in pieces, particularly as strong winds occur. The first known piece to fall from the top floor happened yesterday. Witnesses tell The Appeal-Democrat “a large piece of metal from the top floor fell to the ground” yesterday afternoon.

Thanks to the safety perimeter recommended by the engineers and installed by the city, no one was hurt and no property was damaged.
