Spring has sprung, and its first day dropped a lot of snow on Kansas. So much, in fact, that the roof over a Hutchinson school's cafeteria has collapsed under the weight of at least 6 feet of snow.
Fire Chief Mike Patterson said snow drifted from the higher roof atop the school's gym onto the cafeteria roof, causing it to buckle under the load of snow. About a 30-by-50-foot portion of the roof collapsed into the cafeteria. If the roof collapse had happened during school hours, Patterson said, the situation "could have been tragic."
Several other roofs collapsed in that area, though we only lost the budding tree branches around here.
Must be this global warming thing we've heard so much about.
