What causes storm damage and what to do
Wind damage in Santa Ysabel concentrates at roof edges, ridges, and any place flashing meets a penetration, since those are the spots most exposed to uplift. After a significant wind event, a walk-around from the ground plus an attic check for new light or staining catches most real damage. A roofer can tarp an exposed section same-day if rain is coming before doing the permanent repair once conditions allow safe roof access.
