Need a boat to shop at Kmart it seems.’ Added another: ‘The whole centre was evacuated as ceiling came down in ok be store. Water was pouring through light fittings through the shopping centre.’
The shocking scenes shocked many Kmart shoppers on Facebook.
Writes one: ‘You know what amazes me? People will stand in a pool of water filming things while there are lights with water pouring out near them. Seems they aren't scared of dying.’
Added another: ‘I can’t believe this.’
But while many pondered whether the water damaged stock would be sold off on sale, others weren’t so sure.
