Yeah that's what it was like. That roaring sound is so hard to duplicate. I expected a whistling sound but it never whistled.

The sound of the shingles flapping up and down and then disconnecting from the roof was REALLY loud and pretty unnerving.

At least they had daylight - it was really scary not being able to see what was going on, just hearing all the debris smashing in to the house.

Upon further inspection we have more damage than I thought. Several gashes in our (new) vinyl siding, several soft spots in the ceiling that leak water when touched, and some drip spots from windward side wall fixtures (like light switch plates.)

Still no power, which is getting pretty frustrating. I don't want to get used to a cold shower every morning!
