The donor Tempest was under a pipe shelter, the 25 in a slightly stronger shelter. The twisted Tempest bow is poking out of the lesser shelter, done! Going to dig thru to the 25, I thought it was ok yesterday, but hadn't seen the extent of the shelters till this morning. Been stuck in bed with the flu, shivering like mad ( I LOVE the cold, hating the bone chill!) I shoveled the woman's car out yesterday and saw what looked like the intact end of the large shelter. Too cold to go upstairs in the shop to view the thing and had to get right back to bed after 20 minutes of shoveling. I am afraid the 25 got crushed forward.........................what a mess. It was snow loads, not wind, but the snow drifted onto the collapsed shelters and that may be what caused more damage.
Edited after seeing the boats, what's left of them. Tempest crushed from glacial snowpack, unbelievable weight of that stuff. Can't really shovel it, too compacted. The 25 seems ok, got shoved back nearly off it's cradle. Kinda looks like something nailed the bow and it bounced, poor boat. I took a bunch of photos but the camera got foggy, will upload when the camera comes up to room temp, some sad shots.
Camera warmed up:

The rigs look fine and the 25 keel is still there, haha. Cannot believe how compact that snow/ice is. I tried shoving against the pile on the Tempest, rock solid, could not budge it. Have to wait for warmer weather in a week or two or three. Those shelters are not designed to be used as that one was.
3 PM edit: It's gone, holed aft and split under the stem. Nice lamination, must admit. Anyone need a flag pole?
The loud metal popping sounds are pretty scary in that large shed, the 25 hit the side hard, looks kinked too. I more upset about the cargo heater, luckily the propane tanks were out for refilling.
