Hah, I've often wondered about the plural of "roof" myself!
Otherwise, fingers crossed for your rooves - we had water
come in and make a mess of our bedroom wall during this
past winter of "ice dams", and it all came down to a single
nail that had been slowly pulled out of place during the
constant freeze/thaw cycles, and lifted shingles with it.

We've had 3 small basement floods over the last 7 years up here in northern CT.

I now watch the weather (and gutters) like a hawk!
