[QUOTE="sortaisle, post: 458991, member: 17605"] Spokane was almost caught up, but then the support beams on the roof started to bend under the load of the snow. We had to evacuate the building and do an Amish sort using man power to move packages outside on our MDU's/PDC's (trailers that have bay doors on them for loading package cars). That sucked and there were some pissed off customers. I can't say as I blame them, there's been 27 or so building collapses because of the snow load around here recently including a local grocery chain and 3 walmarts and both Costco's as well started to sag. I know no one wants to be the person to try and pull 70 grand out of Seattles butt to get the snow shoveled, so instead they waited till the roof sagged and then lost some 2 million in packages running through the system again and for roof repair. It's going to cost some 2 million to get the building repaired. They did a temporary fix with support beams, but I would think that with our space problem, that 2 million would be better spent expanding or even building a new building with more space to get things done. Fat chance at that though. [/QUOTE]
