Metrodome Collapse

Metrodome CollapseOn Sunday a great blizzard has hit the east through Midwest causing heavy rain and powerful blustery winds and that has resulted in great damage and destruction. National Weather Service has informed of the severe storm and low temperature. The states that are badly affected by the blizzard include South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. Lt. Eric Roeske a spokesperson of Minnesota State Petrol has informed that on Sunday morning in Minneapolis the throbbing and hammering snow has caused the roof of Metrodome collapse
which has about 64000 seats.
The photos of the Metrodome collapse have shown a big hole in the dome through which white snow has covered the field. Workers tried their best with their shovels to clear the roof and the field of the heavy snow. Roeske has said that the air pressure that keeps the roof up was affected by the heavy snow. The chairman of Minneapolis Sports Commission, Roy Terwilliger has said that the strong winds and heavy snow has caused the Metrodome collapse. The pressure was enormous that has also caused the Teflon roof to break.
The snow was all over the field from the gap in the collapsed top of the Metrodome. NFL has informed that the game between New York Giants and Minneapolis Vikings has been rescheduled from Sunday to Monday and moved to Ford Field in Michigan, Detroit. The league has also declared that they will distribute free tickets and for those who have already bought the tickets will have the ideal seats close to 50 yard line.
