Wow, just went to see that, and didnt' realize how many AT short vids there are, nice!
Have no idea what shelter this was though

Better than, "Tree Falls on Tent."

You've got that right!

It did not look like the shelter was damaged at all so it probably is only a footnote in some maintainer's log - something like: "today I cut a blowdown that was leaning on the shelter I maintain"
Rather like trying to find reference to the damage that was done to the Rock Spring Shelter in the Thanksgiving day ice storm - I never saw any reports but I was at the shelter and saw the damage to the rain gutters but I don't think the roof was damaged very much at all therefore no reports.
Looked at this clip and didn't see anything tree hit the shelter, unless it had already hit the backside. The shelter overhang and "porch" area plus the maple tree leaves reminds me of and is very similar to Clarendon Shelter here in Vermont. I'm not 100% sure.

I agree, it looks like Clarendon
