TL;DR Summary

South Lake Tahoe has experienced its heaviest winter in 70 years, with over 50 feet of snowfall causing significant damage to homes and buildings. The town has seen two exploded homes, 10 collapsed buildings, and at least 20 buildings red-tagged as unsafe for occupancy. The heavy snowfall has also caused roof collapses, with some buildings showing signs of potential collapse.
