Lake Lewisville Disaster
 

This was shared on another forum I visit. A snow and ice storm crushed an entire section of covered slips.

Just another batch of premium fresh water boats getting ready to hit the market!

Wow I had seen the overhead pictures of that, but up close I just really feel for all those whose boats and slips were damaged. We are docked at Lake Texoma and had 3 inches of ice on the roof it pushed the dock down over 2 feet. We were lucky it could have been worse.

I will be surprised if we don't see several of these stories over the next few days. We are getting a very heavy wet snow and they're saying we will get 10 inches of it. Not good

And on that note, I'll be venturing outside with a snow rake to clear the roofs off this afternoon.
Yeah, its a chore, but it beats vacuum-starting a revolver if that happened to my boat.

Hard to look at these pictures.

It didn't look like any of the boats were sunk though. I imagine there was significant damage to the boats but not as much as sinking. Are the dockominiums insured?

I do a bunch of work in that area...it was one hell of a ice storm.

I live about two minutes from lake lewisville and this is worse than I thought! That ice storm was a bad one for sure !!

Would be willing to help anyway I can if needed!!

Good people too. The guy that took the pics is from a Crownline forum. Heart goes out to him and those involved. He worked so hard to get his cruiser and it was deemed a total loss.

Not the first time I have read of one of these style buildings crashing due to heavy loads. I would think someone might want to do a little engineering work to re support existing units and new one's built to higher standards. I do understand the cost factor but weight loads should be a priority IMO
Im glad no one was hurt and bad for all those people that have to repair all that fiberglass.
