Three feet of wet snow collapsed and damaged many roofs. I had the good fortune (since I survived) to be filming inside a store called US Toy &amp; Constructive Playthings when a partial collapse turned into a complete collapse. The resulting rush of air blew me out the open door like a champagne cork (yes, I was actually airborne). Mind you, I knew the rest of the roof might come down and stupidly went inside (again) anyway. A mistake I won't make again. The video is more of an audio experience since I was shooting a closeup at the time of collapse, but you'll get the idea.
