Trees blown over everywhere and some buildings in town knocked over but my
roof survived and no leaks. Professional roofers usually put only 4 screws
per 3 foot panel along the edge. I used 12 screws per panel along the edge.
As long as the edge doesn't lift up, a metal roof will survive a lot of
wind.


You got that right, you HAVE to keep the edge down. I've been bending
the upwind edge down and screwing it to the side as well.
