Roof collapses at Troutdale Safeway store

Everyone in the store made it out safely and there were no reports of injuries.

TROUTDALE, Ore. — A Safeway store’s roof partially collapsed in Troutdale on Monday morning after days of heavy snow and ice in the Portland metro area.

Everyone in the store at the time made it out safely. There were no reported injuries.

The grocery store, located at 2501 SW Cherry Park Rd., likely had its roof buckle due to a large amount of snow and ice, the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office said. It happened just before noon.

Crews with Gresham Fire are investigating.

The store's roof partially collapsed under the weight of snow and ice.

On Monday night, a roof caved in at a Les Schwab Tire Center located at 4105 SE Powell Blvd. A cleaning crew was inside the building at the time of the cave-in, but were able to get out safely.

The snow and ice storms that moved through the Portland metro area from Thursday through Sunday caused a significant amount of damage, bringing down trees and power lines and knocking out power for hundreds of thousands of people.
