ROOF SURVIVED HURRICANE, BUT WAS IT JUST LUCK?

Last year we finally replaced our old shingle roof with a metal one, mostly because my neighbor wouldn't stop raving about his. Honestly, I was skeptical at first—seemed pricey and kinda loud when it rains—but after Hurricane Ian blew through, our house was pretty much untouched. A few neighbors lost shingles or had leaks, but ours held up perfectly. Now I'm wondering if we just got lucky or if metal roofs really are that much better in storms. Anyone else have similar experiences or was this just a fluke?

Metal roofs are tempting, but the upfront cost made me hesitate. I’ve heard they last way longer and handle storms better, though. Have you looked into how noisy they get during rain? That’s one thing I keep wondering about.
