Not to beat this thing to death but, collar ties were needed here. You can do the same thing with cables but you need something to keep that load from spreading those walls apart. You can do a real heavy header front and rear supporting a good size ridge beam, but you wont gain any clearance going in and out. That said sorry this happened. It must have went fast to do that much damage. Normally its kind of a slow creaky process. If you weren't around you could not notice. We have had lots of structures fail around here. Record snow fall some rain and wind the weak links broke this year. Good luck to you.
