a few moments ago that the two-story apartment building at 1008 Third Street SE (one of the pre-redevelopment-era private residences in the neighborhood) has suffered a partial-roof collapse with cracks in the walls, and that an "evacuation zone" has been set up. Two folks over at 909 New Jersey and Capitol Hill Tower have passed along
of the EMS response.
three doors down from Cornercopia.
Another DCFireEMS tweet just sent gives additional details: "end of row unit appears to be separating - cracks, etc - 4 person evacuated so far - no injuries".
I will update here when I get more information, but follow
my Twitter feed (also available
on Facebook) for the fastest updates.
(PS: Just also want to pass along, not that it has anything to do with the above news, that tonight's scheduled ANC 6D meeting has been
postponed until Wednesday.)
UPDATE: First off, my apologies, I had the wrong building, after getting confused by the phrase "apartment building." The house with the initial roof collapse is a little yellow rowhouse, the third one down from Cornercopia (now
properly circled here and also seen a bit better
in this 2004 photo). Unfortunately, an
update from DC EMS says that the apartment building I had originally keyed on might have problems, too, with six residents there possibly to be evacuated. Third Street is closed between K and M.

Point of clarification... that first pic may have been passed along by someone at CHT... but looks like it was taken at 909...?

Thanks, Michael, was trying to look at too much stuff at once and didn't process it right.

Anyone know Onyx's front desk phone number?
We can see a unit on the 12th floor facing 1st street with the balcony door wide open and shade flying in the air on the balcony. Not sure if this is an empty unit or someone is not home and balcony door became open somehow....or someone just likes a nice, cool and snowy breeze into their apartment....
