I have unofficially heard that 25 boats were damaged total.

I went by today and most of the main part of the building is collapsed and the rest (low addition) appears to be holding up for now. Many curious people were driving up to see the damage. I have posted a photo.

I checked Fay's where my boat is and the building is doing fine. Lots of snow on the ground that has slid off the roof and very little on it. The covered slips looked very good too with most not having any snow on them.

Hello Group,

Took a ride yesterday and saw the Irwin Marine bldg damage from the entrance road. The left wall can be seen actually bulged out! It was something. We drove over to Lakeport Landing and saw (we think) Erica Blizzard shoveling snow off the roof of "C" dock.

A lot of the bldg's in the area look to have in excess of two feet of snow and quite a few of the bldg's had folks shoveling them off. Better to take a proactive approach as opposed to the potential for damage.

FWIW, the GM of Irwins was quite specific in some of the interviews he did right after that Irwins had been checking the roofs of all its buildings frequently and thought they would be OK. May become a he-said-she-said ordeal. I doubt that the buildings contractor/designer are still around, anyone remember when Grossmans opened the place?
