In Houston, no major damage from the storm the other day but we have a small stain on the ceiling in the upstairs bedroom. Just got out of the sauna/attic and the area wasn't very accessible. Saw no evidence of a leak from what little I could access. Prob gonna have a roofer take a look it. Would it have been possible for water to come in the through the ridge vent? Any recs for a roofer?

Had the same happen a couple months ago. In high wind, it's easy to blow up edges of old shingles and drive water underneath. Get a roofer to take a look.

Wind driven rain was something we saw a lot of during Harvey along with straight water logging of roofing products. Leaks occurred where they never had before. They can be tough to find, as is anything that is "intermittent". I can have my guy come take a look. Give me a shout if you need help.

I've never used Jason before because I'm not in Houston, but from everything he's posted on this board and some of the feedback I've seen from people who have used him, I'd absolutely give him a call.

Probably wind driven leak. They are usually hard to replicate. I saw a lot of these after Harvey delivered 24+ inches sideways in a few days on roofs that had never leaked before.
