Roof snake for shingle repairs - GIF

[metric_taper]

After seeing all the steel sheathing that has been removed from my locality, (my town had the highest derecho winds, 112MPH) the quality of the build is critical. Brand new buildings were stripped. I bet you find they put in half the screws, and short length.
But this storm was odd in its duration of these beating winds (35 minutes, and rain that forced it way past the window seals). At least I didn't loose my roof or any sheathing. Lost a 11x12 foot area on my storage building. Some cap shingles (on top of the plastic roof vent), vinyl fascia, and vinyl gutters. I've spent the past 4 days hauling, cutting all the down fall. It just stripped the limbs from the trees, big red oaks. Some failed at the roots. The things I can't do are the widow makers left hanging by fibers. Just too high off the ground, and no safe way to cut them. I'm trying to figure out a 20 foot pole saw that I can lift and maneuver to remove branches to lighten the beast.
Fatalities is now 4, but there should have been more if you were caught out in this.
