Since it dripped on our heads and onto a carpet it was quickly noticed. The
delay in a real bad summer thunderstorm was not delayed much, probably less
than an hour. If you just had a new roof you may want to go up there and
check it out. It doesn't take much to let some rain in. Mine was a crack
less than an inch in length in a shingle hidden inside the space between two
tabs which let water trickle through the roof. It was hard to find, but
obvious once I found it. I also noticed some other cracks forming. In a new
roof there may be a bad flashing or other seal on something that penetrates
the roof, or something similar.

Were the effects seen at the same time as the rain or was it delayed a
day.

I did have a new roof put on in November
