During Alicia, thousands of windowpanes in downtown Houston were broken by roofing gravel getting picked up and blown around.

Yep... it was a disaster downtown. Panes of glass were falling down from 30-50 floors up. NOT GOOD.

I think, since then... they've banned use of gravel on roofs.

Roofing rock is no longer allowed for ballast on roofs in hurricane prone areas. The roofs all have to be mechanically fastened.
