We always laugh at the new construction ideas, mostly because I is old. I also have seen many Amish buildings, and a raft of buildings sold by a certian lumber yard go down with snow.
Seems it is luck for the builders that the wind was just right to make it drift more on their buildings than the ones someone else built right beside it.
I do not understand how insurance companies pay for most of the wind damage.there is a real good reason most building fail in a wind storm.
Vey few folks have snow load insurance, and certianly even fewer have the insurance than think they do. Usualy there are alot of angry folks after a big wet snow storm, because they thought they were covered.
I have seven walk behind snow blowers to remove snow from roofs, and 90% of the folks will call and ask if their roof will be ok. Then almost everyone will tell me the answer they want me to give to them..........Duaaaa, sure, it will never fall down.
Do you all pay attention to the tornado videos? Seems a whole town is torn down except the old two story houses that get the shingles tore up, and windows broken.
I hear alot of coments that a certian building has the rafters closer together, so therefore it is a stronger building for a snow load. Usualy I can not fix stupid, so often I do not coment that the rafters that are farther apart are made from larger demention lumber.
Like the old guy said,....ever notice how a tornado heads right for every trailer court in all the towns?

As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
