Okay, random thought experiment here...let's say you wake up tomorrow morning after a pretty rough storm overnight. You head outside with your coffee, look up, and uh-oh...a few of your shingles are looking crooked or even missing entirely. Now, I know shingles aren't exactly cheap or fun to replace (been there, done that, sadly), so I'm curious what everyone else does to prep their roofs for bad weather. Do you guys have any kind of routine or checklist you follow to make sure your shingles stay put? Or maybe some DIY tricks you've figured out over the years to keep everything secure and save yourself a headache later? Honestly, I usually just cross my fingers and hope for the best, but that's probably not the smartest strategy, haha.

Haha, yeah, relying on luck isn't exactly ideal. But honestly, even with regular inspections and maintenance, storms can still catch you off guard. I've found that checking for loose shingles every spring and fall helps a bit. Still, sometimes nature just decides your roof needs a makeover... Hang in there, you're definitely not alone in this struggle.
