Eric,

Very interesting pic.

I see you are wise enough to have a proper Hurricane shutter on your house,...congrats.

I saw a wind tunnel video down here after the '95 Hurricane hit on us,..it showed the effect of high speed wind on roof material..

....the asphalt/fiberglass shingle promptly blew off or self destructed starting at 85 mph,....was 100% gone at 100 mph........I see the roof shingles on the ground and off your roof.....so, you were at 85 mph, at least, over your roof.

...down here one never sees shingles,....metal roofs or 3/4 plywood with hypalon,......no overhangs either,.....they are like sails to the wind....

..either roof design is screwed into 4 inch by 8 inch roof beams,..this wood beam is cast into the cement wall with steel rebar going thru it....it stays put!

....your building code for roofs to tremendously underbuilt...and actually very dangerous.....really

...fix that cat and go sailing!
