No one was injured, but police officers closed Seventh Avenue, so crews could clean up the debris.

Lt. Pete Sanchez, a spokesman for MFR, said the building, which has structural damage, was set to be demolished.

Florida Power & Light employees temporarily cut power to the building, according to Sanchez.

MFR personnel temporarily evacuated a family of three from a neighboring building. Sanchez said it was a precaution.
