Weather security
Roofs continue to collapse
under record snow across the Boston area, most over warehouses and barns, as
the latest weekend storm brings three to five inches of snow, topped off by up
to a half-inch of rain in some areas.
Sunday’s tally shows 128 roofs
have failed in the last two weeks, up from 106 roofs on Friday, according to
Peter Judge, spokesman for the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, MEMA.
A barn roof collapse in
Andover, Massachusetts, where several horses were rescued Sunday is typical of
what local and state emergency personnel are seeing, Judge said. Cave-ins on
residential property have been limited to attached garages, decks and other
structures that are not inhabited. There have been no serious injuries, he
said.
