LOL ! It was a pile of sticks where you see the end wall in the background and the truck crane ready for the next pick. I don't have any photos of that, not having been around when it happened. Some of the other tin did have wind or associated damage. To be honest the barn should have been demolished, but given the insurance, and the ability to make it whole again seemed best at the time. What you see is the completion of the framing and it being ready for the metal roof panels, well after we took off the remaining tin on the one end and wherever else etc.
The main factor here was that the late winter, wet snow accumulation, from a single weather event, it was clearly too much for this barely adequate framing. Common trusses spanning 50'-0" clear, 4'-0" on center spacing,(which is a delight to work with) and they were never braced since it was built, long before us. I think the moisture in there ruined the splice plates on the existing trusses, as there were many plywood replacement splice plates. All things considered, the weight of that snow caused a catastrophic failure, the trusses, in the condition they were, could not withstand the loading on them and likely buckled and created a domino effect.
