Obviously the author is a structural engineer - not. High winds over a roof create lift, which can pull the roof off the structure leading to structural collapse. That is why modern building codes require hurricane straps to secure the roof to the walls. These straps accomplish the same thing assuming they are well anchored at the ends.
