Fix the roof, not the felt. The felt is the backup system. My roof doesn't
even have any.

Most roofs go at the ridge or near a cause of wind eddies. This is
usually some obstruction and the tiles will be near the top course, so
replacing them is generally easy to do. If the slate has slipped from
the middle or lower down you need to get the nails it fell from out of
the way and that can be a pig for inexperienced people to sort.

If you can get one of those cut anything saws you might try that,
otherwise you need a slate rip. (A notched thin bar to fish for and haul
out the offenders with.) Then you need to find a way to fix the new
slate. Tiles are somewhat different as you can sometimes lift a lot of
courses from a lower one in a "domino effect" style.
