After a microburst, the priority is the roof closed before the next storm.

Arizona's monsoon does not deliver the steady rain other climates get. It delivers microbursts: an outflow wall that hits at fifty or sixty miles an hour with almost no warning, dumps an inch of rain in twenty minutes, and drives it sideways under tile and up under shingle edges. Then it is clear and 105 degrees again by dinner. A roof can be fine in June and open in July.

Wind damage on a tile roof usually shows up as tile shifted out of course along a rake or a ridge, or tile broken by something that flew into it — a section of a neighbour's roof, a palm frond, patio furniture. On shingle it shows as a lifted or peeled field where the sealant strip let go. On low-slope and foam it shows up as debris punctures and lifted edge metal. On any of them, the underlayment is now exposed to the next storm.

Our first job in that situation is stabilization: get the exposed area covered, get the water out of the path it has found, and stop the damage from compounding. Documentation comes with it — photographs of what failed and where, which is what you need whether you are filing a claim or just deciding what to do next. Then we talk about the permanent repair.
