She and her family live in Mississippi. The roof of their 60x60 shop collapsed, and the beam landed directly on her 57. The truck was just completed 2 weeks ago. Her husband's C10 (his grandfather is the original owner) had the roof land on it, but it only resulted in a 2 inch scratch to the paint, thankfully.
Her husband also runs a custom parts/accessories business out of this building, so the impact is greater than just the damage to their personal property.

I'm thinking that can be rebuilt with a donor. Just a point, take a look at that beam. Does that not look like the beam actually snapped?

Yeah, the weld appears to be a concern. Regardless, I doubt that codes in MS are similar to codes in the Northeast/Midwest, because how often do they get snow like this?

I'd hazzard a guess that that was not an engineered building. Just out of curiosity, where's the beam that's supposed to be supporting that I-beam ?? I'm not the only one who noticed this! If you look at the end of the "I" beam it look like somebody welded a plate on the inside. This is not the way to weld I beams together. Back yard builders probably. Hopefully either the vehicle or homeowners insurance will cover it. And have somebody skilled rebuild the roof.

They did not build the building themselves. I'd be having a conversation with my contractor then.

IMHO as a structural steel fabricator, this was not a complete (PEMB) pre-engineered building kit. Somebody went to MBCI, Mueller Supply or similar and bought purlins, panels and other components and pieced something together. From what I can make out, looks like really crappy workmanship. I don't know if Mississippi has contractor licensing, whether this area requires building permits or whatever else that would give at least an illusion of competence here. If nothing else works out they could roll the dice on a lawsuit. 2ยข

That's really sad that that happened. Hopefully they can get that truck fixed and get their shed rebuilt.
About 20 or 25 years ago, a guy in our car club had his entire collection of really nice cars severely damaged when his pole barn collapsed under a heavy snow load. The issue there was that overhanging trees had caused an accumulation of sap on the metal roof panels, which made it sticky, so the ice and snow didn't slide off easily, leading to a heavy buildup. At least that's what he said afterwards. Because of that, I watch my pole barn roof very carefully. If I get a foot of snow up there I have the roofers come out and shovel it off. Not worth the risk of leaving snow up there.
