The Pacific “Atmospheric River” rain storm that slammed the San Francisco Bay Area is leaving behind a wake of storm damaged roofs.
The most intense storm in many years with heavy rain and powerful wind gusts wreaked havoc upon rooftops from Sonoma and Marin Counties to San Francisco and the South Bay. Wind gusting up to 70 MPH toppled trees onto roofs and peeled away skylights and roofing shingles. The intense rain exposed the inability of drought neglected roofs to provide a safe and watertight shelter for those living and working in many Bay Area buildings.
