High winds travel up the roof following the contour of the roof line and a low pressure area is generated at the roof's peak. This phenomena causes the roof to lift off.

the roof pops off because when there is a hurricane you should open windows but if you dont open windows your house starts to build pressure and once it gets to a certain amount the winds will just pop the roof right off

The faster velocity of the wind-driven air creates a lower pressure on the outsides of the roof than on the inside, where the air is at rest.
