Massive geyser of water erupts next to Tarzana gas station after hydrant sheared
LA storm leaves trail of damage
From flooded roads and garages, to damaged structures... the latest storm hit LA with power, leaving a massive mess.
LOS ANGELES - The roof of a gas station collapsed Friday morning after a sheared fire hydrant caused a massive water geyser.
What we know:
Firefighters were called to 18500 W. Ventura Blvd. near Garden Grove Avenue in the Tarzana neighborhood just before 5:30 a.m. where they found the intersection flooded, a water geyser from the hydrant shooting into the air, and the gas station's awning and a gas pump damaged, officials said.
It appears a vehicle hit the hydrant, causing it to burst. It's unclear what caused the initial crash, but the roads were wet as rain hit the area in the morning.
No injuries were reported.
Roads in the area were closed for several hours but have since reopened.
