No one was hurt, but cell phone video shows that the falling debris damaged multiple rooms of the townhome, and even crashed through the ceiling of a bedroom.

A friend of the family living there didn't want to show his face on camera, but said a mother and baby live in one of the rooms. If the baby had been there when the brick fell, "we would have been at the county morgue," he said.
