Wind can damage roofs in a number of ways. Some are more perceptible than others.
For example, heavy winds can uproot trees or break tree limbs off that can impact and plainly damage your roof. But a windstorm can also apply stress to your building’s structure, opening up small fissures that can let in small amounts of water.
Generally, however, the most common forms of wind damage to a roof come from stripping tiles and knocking down trees or tree limbs.
Break off tree limbs and branches, remove loose shingles.
Uproot and tear down trees, rip off shingles and roof tiles.
Send limbs and branches airborne, flip mobile homes, rip off ceramic roof tiles and gutters.
Rip off entire sections of heavy tiles, as well as entire sections of roof.
One of the reasons wind is so devastating is because it varies in speed.
Gusts of wind come and go, making it difficult to measure its velocity, and causing trees to sway as they bend in the wind and then try to return to their normal shape.
Even in heavy wind storms that maintain a strong sustained wind speed, gusts can quickly amplify the velocity of the wind, and the magnitude of the damage it can cause.
In preparing for a wind storm, you should always expect winds to be at least 30% higher than what is forecast.
