    It sure hasn't improved your typing. =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    You were looking for a little DIY project to keep you busy this weekend.......hope it isn't any thing major and do wait until the wind drops before you get up on the roof to investigate
    At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.

    Actually I couldn't wait, got up there in the rain. Found no missing shingles or holes in roof. I am thinking the strong winds may have blown rain under some shingles or in the soffits on the peak of the roof. Then run down rafters and down the brace for the fan. Haven't seen any water spots on the ceiling yet.

    Please, do any repairs with the circuit breakers off; I know, you are way above this simple safety procedure.

    I had a similar issue years back.

    A really strong wind pushed a heavy rain into a roof vent, dripped into the attic space, and ruined the ceiling drywall below it.

    Happened only that one time, and was almost 25 years ago.

    Turn off the breaker? That's an extra step to take while I am working on electrical issues in a tropical downpour. Why that's a minute of my life I'll never get back. Oh wait, I think I see some irony there.

    Well, my town is an island again. Took me an hour to get out. Flash floods warnings, nothing going on at work, going back home before the last road washes out. Lost my wi fi at house, glad I got dish Network, all other cable has been down for days.
