In New York, the roofs of 26 buildings collapsed because they could not withstand the weight of the snow.
A severe snowstorm that swept through New York City caused not only a traffic jam but also massive destruction – including collapsed buildings. In five days, as much as 80 inches of snow fell in some parts of the state, causing the roofs of 26 buildings to collapse under its weight.
Many buildings were not prepared to support such a mass. Roofs had to support a cover as thick as 80 inches in parts of New York, which in many cases ended in structural collapse.
The most serious accident occurred at the International Wire plant in Williamstown. Workers had barely evacuated the plant when “pops” were heard from the roof. Fortunately, no one was hurt when the ceiling collapsed a moment later. Several hours later, another section of the roof, covering about 30,000 square feet, collapsed.
The fire service is appealing to residents to contact them if there are any concerns about the condition of their homes. If they report it, firefighters will help assess the risk of the building collapsing and, in the worst case, help with evacuation.
The authorities are also appealing for caution on the roads, where even road workers are having problems, as they lack salt to sprinkle icy roads. Snowdrifts are also a problem, as they limit drivers' visibility.
