Storm line collapse causes giant hole to open in Chinatown Mall parking lot

The City of Chamblee’s Public Works department has blocked off part of the Chinatown Mall parking lot after they say a storm line collapsed and opened up a “sinkhole.”

Severe storms and heavy rain moved through metro Atlanta on Wednesday and Thursday in a system ahead of Hurricane Helene.

Officials say a contractor has been called to come out and make repairs on the damaged spot.

“No one was injured. It’s been blocked off by Public Works and a contractor will start repairs after the storm has passed,” the city said.

Updates will be provided by city officials as more information becomes available.
