The fire at the plaza in Carmel was reported about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday.
It gutted the some 10 stores in the plaza, including a
Blockbuster video store, a restaurant, a wine store and a tanning shop.
No injuries were immediately reported.
Carmel Fire Marshal Bruce Knott says flames were already
shooting through the roof by the time firefighters arrived.
Crews had to deal with strong thunderstorms and had to lower their ladders at times because of lightning.
Knott says a lightning strike was the suspected cause, but
wasn't immediately confirmed.
