Picton man Rob Burn captured a telling photo of a collapsed shop front in Picton.
Twisted metal and bricks from the shop's façade spilled onto the footpath and road - with powerlines hanging loose and the roof cavity exposed.
"That seemed to be the only bit of damage I could see in town so far," he said.
"The town looks pretty good except for that facade."
The store, which sold clothing and craft goods, belonged to a young recently married couple, he said.
