Meanwhile, Amazon spokesman Richard Rocha said in a written statement Friday night, “The safety and well-being of our employees and partners is our top priority right now.” Will share additional information.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said: “My prayers are with the people of Edwardsville.” “Our Illinois State Police and Illinois Emergency Management Agency are both coordinating closely with local officials and I will continue to monitor the situation,” he said.
