Heavy rain causes north Houston home's roof to collapse

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- An apartment in north Houston collapsed this afternoon, after heavy rain hit the building.

"It almost hit me," said Faviola Geitan.

Fortunately, Geitan and her family were not hurt when the ceiling collapsed.

Workers had been fixing the roof for weeks, so it was already weak.

"I got scared," Geitan said. "I didn't know this was going to happen."
