- michelb 9y agoIf you have no roof access from the attic, and the water level rises, you are stuck.
- mnw21cam 9y agoRip away the roofing felt, shove the tiles, then you have a hole. Climb out.
- wiredfool 9y agoAfter you've gone through the 3/8"-3/4" plywood/osb that's nailed on well enough to not come of in a hurricane?
- michaelcampbell 9y agoMy attic at least has several layers of plywood between the airspace and the felt. Probably why you see footage of rescue teams trying to get to the attic from the outside... with axes.
- lathiat 9y agoDepending on the roof construction it may not be that easy. A true least not without tools. And then you're very likely to end up trapped in there and drown if the water level comes up over your roofline
- Andrenid 9y agoThe end of the article said that family got stuck in the attic and the water rose higher than the roof, drowning them all. That's why.
