One common form of damage from hurricane winds is missing or displaced roofing. This damage typically manifests at areas of the building where the wind forces are relatively higher, such as at the eave or roof edge. This is especially true for low-slope roof systems without parapet walls and with deficiencies in the attachment/size of edge metal. Click the link below to learn more. https://hubs.la/Q02V4Qwj0

Modern masonry veneer systems typically consist of a single wythe or layer of brick, concrete, artificial stone, or natural stone units. These veneers are commonly attached to structures with metal veneer anchors (wall ties) or are adhered with mortar. Masonry veneer failures are not common occurrences during most storm events, including hurricanes that create wind speeds/forces that were accounted for in their design. However, if the attachment of the veneer is deficient or has deteriorated since it was first constructed, even those wind forces during a hurricane which are at or below the level for which a structure was originally designed can cause displacement or even collapse of the masonry.
