Building’s foundation threatened as ground collapses
An apartment complex has been evacuated after ground saturated by days of rain collapsed and undermined retaining walls along a lake southwest of Fort Worth.
Images provided by KDFW-TV in Dallas show the ground slid away from a corner of the complex Friday morning, leaving the foundation exposed and a steep drop extending toward Lake Granbury.
Fire officials say no injuries have been reported but authorities are determining whether other nearby structures may be threatened, too.
The lake is part of the Brazos River, which extends through much of Texas and has been the source of extensive flooding in the state.
The river near Granbury on Friday was more than 4 feet above flood stage, close to a record crest of nearly 36 feet.
