Severe weather can affect any roof. The older roofs are more vulnerable, but the new ones are not infallible either, especially if they are dealing with strong storms.
Soon after such a weather phenomenon, the roof must be inspected by someone such as Penney Construction in your area. And soon means immediately, otherwise you risk experiencing bigger problems.
Water infiltration on the last ceiling, under the roof, indicates that there is damage to the roof. But not all roof problems are as obvious, so you must walk inside the house, checking for wet spots where the walls and the ceiling meet the exterior walls. Then look outside the house, in the area where you saw the indoor infiltrations, for visible damage. The rainwater system, i.e. gutters and downspouts, must not have loose, deformed or cracked elements; the area under the eaves must not show visible damage either.
Then proceed to the verification of the roof cover. Identify any problems, such as missing tiles, signs of hail damage, cracks or uncovered spaces caused by moving or missing tiles, etc. Finally, check the skylights or attic windows, chimneys, vents, solar panels mounted on roofs etc.
Write down what you noticed, take photos and contact an expert roofer as well as your insurer.
