I’m packing my things on Saturday and beginning to move them out. The roof in my living room/kitchen area collapsed on me due to water leakage from the weekend rain we had.

You have been "constructively" evicted [forced out by physical breaches to the rental contract]. You have a reasonable time to remove your possessions and no longer have to pay any rent since you are not living there. ?The landlord should be responsible for the difference between your new rent for a similar unit and past rent and the moving expenses.
