While specific statistics on the number of roofs that collapse each year in the U.S. solely due to rain are not readily available, it is estimated that thousands of roof failures occur annually due to various weather-related factors, including heavy rain and snow. Roof collapses can result from the accumulation of water and debris, particularly on flat roofs. Local building codes, roof maintenance, and design play significant roles in preventing such incidents. For precise figures, local building departments or insurance claims data may provide more specific insights.
Two reasons: 1. Heavy snowfall may add enough weigt to the roof that it will collapse. That happened last year where I live. 2. Any serious amount of snow on the roof will keep rain from running off, and put a tremendous weight on the roof, and may collapse it. Both of these risks are minimized by shoveling some or all of the snow from the roof.

A flat roof is a maintenance nightmare year after year. So many people have made that mistake only to later put a pitched roof over the flat roof to avoid any more hassle.

By taking the square footage and the actual pitch of the roof and using a chart that will give you a 10 year frequency (average rain fall) per hr. Also a major factor is if the roof surface is for weather protection only or promenade
