I’d rather replace a damaged roof instead of the whole structure and the resulting internal damage. Those straps are extremely strong. They can take a beating, but no doubt there’s debris that can destroy them. If something is big enough to do that, then the wind is the least of the roofs concerns, because the rest of the house is fucked. The possible pros definitely outweigh the cons of using them, even if the don’t end up working out.
