BRADENTON – More than 150 residents of Aviata at Bradenton Villas have been displaced following a partial roof collapse that led to an emergency evacuation on Sunday.

Residents were forced to evacuate their homes after the structural failure occurred. The extent of the damage and the exact cause of the roof collapse were not immediately available.
The evacuation has resulted in the relocation of residents to various facilities throughout the Tampa Bay area.
