I know exactly how you feel....Yesterday we had the guy turn up to install our solar pv system....I could not believe it when he insisted on staying on our roof when the weather hit! I limped inside with the animals and watched the windows hoping I wouldn't see a body falling off the roof. After the worst had passed he emerges from the roof, battered, saturated, but pleased he got the last panel bolted on. During the worst of it - he laid down on the roof clutching the edge of the panel. We had no power for awhile, and the garden is a mess....but no damage.
It did help cool everything down a little, but not enough for me right now. Roll on winter!
