We will see, from what I am hearing so far the worst part will be a lot of rain here. We are supposed to get around 50mph winds and had that many times with normal bad thunderstorms. My big problem is I couldn't get enough time to to finish doing my roof, it kept raining and wasn't supposed to. I have the part I tore off shingled and they lap up and over the part I didn't tear off by 1 foot to 1 1/2 feet just a small part at the ridge I couldn't do since I didn't want to rip off the ridge caps and open both sides. I have it tarped and held down with bundles of shingles. I think it should be 90% to 99% water tight. If it leaks it should leak where the old leak was so won't hurt anything. That is my hope anyway. I had to replace rotted sheathing where I tore off so it is probably more water tight there than it was.

The weather hasn't turned bad yet here. As a matter of fact it rained last couple days that it wasn't supposed to and didn't rain at all today except for a little sprinkle this morning that on last a couple minutes.

Thanx for the well wishes, I'll be fine as long as I don't lose power if I do my basement will flood.

Jeez, Ian, how's a fella supposed to make a living! You could have called me and me and my crew could've drove over and put that on for ya! We would've put on steel though. We don't install shingles anymore. Around here, we do steel for the same money and give a 50 year warranty. (I do worry about that warranty a little, though. I hate to be called out of bed when I'm 90!)
