Another Church Roof Collapse

"MADISON TWP. — The Poasttown First Church of God’s fellowship hall will be silent this Sunday for the first time in 12 years after its roof caved into the building."

I was tempted not to post about another church roof collapsing; however, I felt that maybe one more story would help illustrate my point... Folks you need to make sure that your churches have a safe roof system. If you live in an area that has experienced significant snow fall then you must take this into consideration. The weight from a large amount of snow will eventually cause the support beams to collapse and the roof to come down with it. Please pay extra attention if you happen to have a flat roof. This aids in snow buildup and is normally harder for snow to melt due to clogged and frozen drain pipes.
