Aragon Ballroom’s exterior wall partially collapses

I have been worried about some of my neighbor’s roofs after the enormous amount of snowfall we had this weekend, some of them seem to be visibly weighed down and real damage can occur from the heavy weight.  Just like what happened to our beloved Aragon Ballroom at about 7:45 this morning.  Heavy snow on the roof made an exterior wall give way and collapse onto the red line tracks and alley below, taking out an outdoor staircase with it.  The good news is no one was hurt.
