Wind on the hillsides
Homes on elevated or open ground catch more wind. Gusts lift shingle edges, loosen ridge caps and strip flashing along the rake. A roof that was installed without full nailing or with old sealant strips can fail quickly under a strong gust.
Walk around the house after a windy day and look for shingles on the ground, creased tabs or a ridge line that looks uneven. Check the garage and any lower roofs too, since they often get missed. Early repairs are often small, while neglected ones can open the deck to rain.
