Leave No Roof Unturned?

This weather has been pretty wicked. With the high winds and excessive rains it might feel like we're never going to be dry again. The winds ripping roofs right off of people's it brings new meaning to "Leave no stone unturned". While it would be nice to know just what nature is looking for when it rips the top off a building, there's no denying that roof damage has escalated with these storms:

San Diego County, and the backcountry were soaked with heavy storm systems that dropped several inches of water, the exact sum has yet to be agreed upon. Residents have reported, 8 to 18 inches of water dropped on Alpine.
Whether it was 8 or 18, the water is needed and helps to alleviate drought conditions that have been plaguing our county for the last eight years.  The storms however, brought more than much needed water to the region.  There were warnings of flash flooding, river flooding, and debris flows.

Much of this was witnessed on many properties that suffered severe damage, such as the VFW Hall here in Alpine, as well as many residences.
Heavy rains and strong winds associated with the latest storm this past week were responsible for downed power lines and telephone lines, all over Alpine including closing parts of Arnold Way to everyone but residents.
Many Alpine residents reported that their roofs were damaged in the latest deluge to strike our region. Also, windows were smashed when trees fell on homes.
The El Cajon and Crest area is reporting downed trees, gushing creeks and overflowing pools.
Twenty miles east of Alpine, In Japatul Valley, extremely high gusts of wind tore through the foothill community as terrified residents watched power poles topple and trees becoming uprooted. One resident watched helplessly as winds and rain pushed over a fifty-five foot tall pine tree onto their home sending limbs through the roof and into the attic.

Because soils have reached a saturation point many are beginning to see storm water runoff from these latest storms. Local seasonal streams and creeks are now beginning to flow, filling up our neighborhood ponds and lakes.

Ouch. It's certainly not looking good for anyone right now. Home owners and businesses alike are going to be battling the damage caused by the storms and roof repair is the number one concern for those who have been affected. It's a double-edged sword because we've been so dried out by the drought that we want the rain. What we don't want is the winds and beatings that nature seems to throw along with it. Whatever happened to a gentle rain? Is that really too much to ask for?

In the end, drought predictions are getting better but we could really use a break at the moment. People who have lost their entire roof will need to start looking into roof installation.
