If you open windows during a hurricane than the rain blowing sideways (wets your carpet) and also gets under your ceiling and helps lift off your roof. Think aerodynamics. The wind blowing OVER your roof is putting pressure DOWN on it much in the same way wind flowing over race cars help push them down on the track.

Thank you, Normal. Yours was the 3rd confirming response. I will change my ways--your 'aerodynamics' explanation makes it very clear: wind IN/roof OFF!
