You may have several issues here.
First your roofing may not be rated for the winds in your location.
Second your roof may be incorrectly installed.
Third your shingles have been damaged flapping in the wind.

The fix is to remove and replace using the correct material for your
conditions and following the manufacturer instructions.

I can't see your roof. I don't know how much risk of water damage you are
willing to accept. You can make temporary repairs. How long those repairs
will last is unknown. Water can get under your shingles and damage your
plywood sheathing and wood supports without ever appearing inside your home.
Waiting to replace your roof greatly increases the chance of increased
damage and increased costs. You may already have damage from previous
repairs.

Putting a new roof on probably would not be much more work then making
temporary repairs.

Check out this pagehttp://www.owenscorning.com/around/roofing/shingles/index.asp
See how each product has a different wind resistance. Some are rated for as
high as 130 mph.
Read the installation instructions herehttp://www.owenscorning.com/around/roofing/installationinstructions.asp
See how the installation varies with wind and roof steepness.


Thanks for the link. I used their finder, and they don't have a
contractor within 50 miles of me, which is what I expected. On the
other hand, I didn't know they offered lifetime warranties. If I knew
I only had to do it one time, I guess I would go ahead and get a pro
from Dover to put on the super duper shingles when I get my pension
payment. So that means my repairs only have to last a couple of
years :-).
