In Minnesota during December of 2010 we had a lot of roofs collapse, including the Metrodome (Vikings stadium) roof on Dec 12th.

Many pole barn roofs collapsed, turns out many that were built in the 80's had not been engineered to support local snow loads, especially if they came from one of the mega box stores of the time. A friend had one go down and his insurance refused to cover it due to no snow load rating on the roof structure, he had no idea there was such an exclusion on his policy nor that the shed had no snow load rating since it was there when he purchased the property.

Had another guy tell me he had went inside his pole shed to get a snow shovel, just as he closed the walk door on his way out the roof collapsed!
