Need a shingle roof that will withstand S. Florida weather?

This is straight from GAF themselves... 

"Hurricane Season is here.  We offer solutions to high wind problems - every GAF-Elk shingle manufactured today passes ASTM’s two toughest wind tests:

·         ASTM D3161 Class F 110 mph

·         ASTM D7158 Class H 150 mph

Not all competitor’s shingles pass these two ASTM tests - all of our shingles do.

  Our award winning “Extreme Shingle Testing” video, demonstrates the quality of GAF-Elk’s Timberline® shingles by subjecting them to a battery of tests which are meant to emulate extreme weather conditions, including extreme water and wind testing at hurricane-force speeds.  Thanks to Advanced Protection technology, which results in the optimum combination of weight and performance, the Timberline® shingles pass every one of the torturous tests. 

This information is relevant to everyone living in the SE Florida market.  Consider:

·         Wind from hurricanes and tornadoes alone cause more than $6 Billion in damage every year in the US (Source: EPA).

·         Blown-off shingles can leave a home or building and its content vulnerable to water damage, mildew, and mold.

·         Local building inspectors can require a new roof to be torn off if the shingles do not meet the appropriate local wind codes. "

Yes, the last statement is VERY important!
