Stephanie Davis was working in Oakwood Village when she suddenly felt the entire building begin to shake. He walked to a window and saw a “huge cloud of black smoke” coming from a building about 1,000 feet away, Davis told CNN.

When Davis and his co-workers went outside to see what was going on, they found debris on the roof and strewn across the parking lot, he said.

“Our neighbor’s building across the street from us had some windows smashed, cars damaged and debris on the ground caught fire,” Davis said.

Videos posted Facebook They show a huge cloud of smoke in the sky as flames continue to burn in a building across the street. Footage shows burning debris with craters and damage in a parking lot next to a truck.

“Everybody was in shock and saw their cars and the building where the smoke was coming from,” Davis said. “We heard another little ‘boom’ and everyone started getting into their cars to get out or back to their work building for safety.”

The Twinsburg Fire Department is asking residents to stay away from the area while crews continue to work.
