Demolition is now underway at a Knoxville tire service company which saw its roof cave in due to heavy snow — the only major problem to occur locally as a result of the spate of severe weather.

Raceway Tire and Exhaust suffered a roof collapse on January 23rd, but no injuries were reported; owner Travis Thompson says the staff was able to get out well before the roof fell in.

Workers began tearing down the remaining portions of the building Friday, and Thompson says they will eventually rebuild on the site; how long it will take has not been determined.
