Wind hydroplaning is your enemy here if you have any lifted edges of roofing felt. The wind will not only lift the felt but may also push any standing water under the felt and in the winter cold this water freezes and expands and tears destroying the integrity of the roofing felt making matters worse.
What else can I help you with?
Is the roof of a home considered a load bearing structure?
Yes, the roof is a load bearing structure. Wind, rain and snow all apply loads to a roof. Snow loads can be very great in some portions of the country
What size laminated timber beam is needed for a 23 foot clear span under a 15 foot roof in between load bearing walls?
38 feet longIt is not possible to give a definite answer without more detail. The construction and type of roof will determine the load (weight) bearing on the beam, and factors such as wind load and earthquake load, and the way the roof bears on the beam (truss/point load/distributed load) will all affect the sizing.

Why does a car use more petrol when it has a load on the roof?
Its answer is very simple that a car uses more petrol when it has to overcome more wind resistance.
What is the maximum wind speed a normal roof can withstand?
A normal roof can typically withstand wind speeds of about 90-100 miles per hour. However, the exact wind resistance of a roof depends on various factors such as the type of roofing material, roof pitch, and how well the roof is installed. It is important to ensure that your roof is properly constructed and maintained to withstand high wind speeds.
Why rocks on a roof?
the rocks on the roof is use to add weigth on the roof specially when heavy wind is on your place
How does Bernoulli and principle explain how wind can take the roof off a house?
The Bernoulli principle states that as wind flows over a roof, the pressure is lower above the roof compared to below it. This pressure difference creates lift, which can exert an upward force on the roof. If the force of the wind exceeds the strength of the roof's structure, it can cause the roof to lift off the house.
Can you suggest some applications of triangles in your daily life?
One of the most common would be the roof of most homes and many buildings. The rafters of the roof form a triangle, and most have smaller triangles as part of the supporting structure to hold the roof up, and withstand wind, snow load, and other external forces.
Do some houses have a wind vane on the roof to show the direction of the wind?
Yes
What is a load structure?
Simply stated, it is a factor that will increase the loading. There are numerous types of load factors. Dead, Live, Roof live, Snow, Wind, Seismic, etc.There are also several different combos, depending on which method you are using (LRFD or ASD). The highest combo is used to determine your ultimate load, qu.
What are the key considerations when designing a top chord truss for a roof structure?
When designing a top chord truss for a roof structure, key considerations include the span of the truss, the load it will bear, the material used, the pitch of the roof, and any additional support needed for stability. It is important to ensure that the truss is structurally sound and able to support the weight of the roof and any potential snow or wind loads.
Is wind blowing against a tree a dead load or live load?
Live
