An Eagle Pass, Texas business property housing two businesses, Eagle Pass Physical Therapy and Body Max Fitness, located at 137 Zamora Medical Circle had its roof ripped-off by high wind gusts of up to 60 miles per hour on Thursday, January 11, 2018, at approximately 2 P.M.  A cold front was passing through the community at the time of the high wind gusts.

Almost the complete aluminum metal roof was ripped-off the building, causing serious damages to at least four automobiles parked outside in the building’s parking lot as well as the building itself.

At the moment of the accident, there were at least two employees working inside the businesses that escaped sustaining any physical injuries to themselves but their automobiles parked outside the building were among the four vehicles damaged by the roof falling on top of them.

The real property and building at 137 Zamora Medical Circle is owned or operated by Dr. Sergio Zamora of Eagle Pass, Texas.

The Eagle Pass Fire Department responded to the accident while the Eagle Pass Public Works Department monitored the roof debris.
