Wow now that was a windstorm to damage a metal shed like that.
It looks like the roof of the metal shed we used to have in our backyard, after our two kids (7 and 9 years old @ the time) and a neighbour kid decided to try their luck at skiing off the roof of our bungalow and down the shed roof...which they regarded as the 'lower' slope. The shed was directly under the roof of our bungalow and it had been a very heavy snow that year.
Anyways, I happened to be out around the shed the next day and was dumfounded as to why the shed roof was completely collapsed.
My wife and I wondered what happened...one of our theories was maybe a chunk of 'frozen ice'
had fallen from an airliner...but no sign of that. Hmmmmnnn.
We noticed our kids were uncharacteristically quiet...so after some discussion of they knew what happened....they came out with it. They were skiing and were surprised when the shed roof collapsed.
Well things happen in life and that spring they helped us build a new, stronger wooden shed.
My two prize motorcycles were in that shed...the Matchless Scrambler and the Yamaha big single. No damage.
For the duration of the winter we covered the crushed shed roof with a tarp and all was well.
