Dramatic footage of the roof collapsing on an iconic Atlanta restaurant was captured on drone video Tuesday night after heavy rain soaked the city.
Mary Mack’s Tea Room sustained significant damage, with part of its roof collapsing as more than 3 inches of rain fell across the city overnight.

“We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will notify you of a reopening date as soon as possible,” the restaurant said on Instagram.
