A section of the roof at a BJ's Wholesale Club in Ocean Township, New Jersey, partially collapsed on Monday morning, sending a deluge of water into the store and narrowly missing shoppers. The incident occurred around 11:16 a.m. during severe storms that were battering the area.
Harrowing video captured the moment the roof gave way, unleashing torrents of water that swept multiple displays across the floor. One shopper was seen browsing the bakery section just moments before the collapse and was subsequently pushed by the inundating displays and debris.
According to police, 27 people were inside the store at the time of the incident. Two individuals were temporarily trapped, but miraculously, no injuries were reported.
The BJ's Wholesale Club had not immediately responded to requests for comment at the time of reporting.
