Friends of mine at both Bohemia Bay Yacht Club and Georgetown Yacht Basin sent me these slideshows of the recent snow related shed collapses in NE Maryland. It is amazing to see how much damage has been done, hope none of you were affected. Here are the links - hope they work:

LInks work fine. That's a real shame. So much for safe and sound covered storage. I wonder how many boats were destroyed. Hopefully there were no live-aboards sleeping in there when it all came down

Jesus, that's awful.

If it weren't for the snow, that'd look like hurricane damage.

To see something you love destroyed like that is terrible.
Insurance companies will be very busy trying not to have it fall under their policy.

When they do rebuild the structures. They certainly are not going to be putting one up made out of timbers.

I'm not sure timbers were the problem. Many of the marinas here in MN use timber-framed structures and corrugated steel. We get a fair amount of snow from year-to-year, especially this year. There have been no catastropic failures like this.
