We have a drip. In the third-floor ceiling.

Well, now we have a hole.


It's been enlarged since this pic.

EDIT: So yeah, a little repetitive sound while we were watching TV turned out to be a slow drip onto my laptop keyboard (which appears to have sustained no damage). One drop at a time was seeping through a hairline crack in the plaster. We moved cruft and furniture, [livejournal.com profile] rmd cut into the ceiling (which I would not dare do, but hey, I'm not a former electrician!) pulled out insulation and stuff, and found what *appears* to be a small leak of wetness driven sideways by the wind, as opposed to a serious roof problem. We hope. A bucket is in place.

ObSubjectLine: And we left the TiVo paused shortly before Gene Wilder says, "The name! Is! Frankenstein!"

Interesting. It was about this time last year when I felt the drip drip while in the bathroom. Turned out a 2 inch hole had been burned in the roof by leaves. Replaced roof, replaced one board, no problems in this hurricane.

Might be something simple as a knocked out shingle, can be replaced without doing the whole roof pretty easily.
