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.
