Noticed a couple shingles in the yard after that storm last week, figured it was just wind damage. But now I'm seeing some weird dark spots on the ceiling upstairs... um, guessing that's not good. Anyone had something similar happen?

Yeah, been there myself a couple years back. Had a nasty storm roll through and found shingles scattered around the yard. Thought I'd dodged a bullet until those dark spots showed up on the bedroom ceiling... not fun. Turns out water had seeped in and was pooling up there. Honestly, it's good you're noticing it now rather than later. Catching it early saved me from a much bigger repair bill. Might wanna get someone to check it out sooner rather than later. Good luck!
"Turns out water had seeped in and was pooling up there."
Yeah, pooling water's definitely a red flag. Had a tenant once who ignored similar spots for months... ended up with mold issues and drywall replacement—total headache. Better to bite the bullet now and get it checked out. Have you noticed any missing shingles or debris around your yard lately? Could be related to recent weather or just wear and tear over time.

Had a similar issue last spring—noticed water pooling up after some heavy rain. Turned out a couple shingles had shifted slightly. Quick fix once we pinpointed it, but yeah, don't wait too long... mold creeps up faster than you'd think.
Yeah, good advice above. Had something similar happen a few years back—noticed dark patches on the ceiling after a storm. Turned out water was getting in through some loose flashing around the chimney, not even the shingles themselves. Might wanna check those areas too, since leaks don't always start where you'd expect. Definitely worth sorting sooner rather than later; water damage can get pricey real quick if you let it slide.
