What's this?

Question for anyone knowledgeable about roofing.

I found part of a shingle in my driveway (it was really windy Thursday/Friday). I am not able to go on the roof, but I took this picture. From the shape of the shingle, I think this is a match. There is supposed to be a lot of wind and rain tonight. This looks like it would be okay (but what do I know). What do you think? Thanks in advance.

That picture is blowing my mind, optical illusion? At the bottom, you can -- thankbud 04/12/2020 2:20PM

A laminate shingle like you have will have several layers. -- Stork 04/12/2020 2:10PM

Okay thanks. What I found definitely looks like a piece and not an entire -- dallasvt 04/12/2020 2:16PM

If that little strip is where you think it came from, you can see -- Stork 04/12/2020 2:13PM

I think the picture I attached was too big, Second try. -- dallasvt 04/12/2020 2:29PM

I assume that's the top of the flashing. Looks like step flashing -- Stork 04/12/2020 2:56PM

Actually that's not step flashing -- RTFC 04/12/2020 9:12PM

This will give better context. The previous picture was taken looking down -- dallasvt 04/12/2020 3:02PM

Lots of Youtube videos on re-caulking. Pretty easy. When all else fails, -- Stork 04/12/2020 4:25PM

But then you have to start pronouncing "water" as "worter". ** -- PhotoHokieNC 04/12/2020 4:35PM

Or counter flashing. -- Stork 04/12/2020 2:57PM

Right. What you are saying is why intuitively I thought it would be okay -- dallasvt 04/12/2020 2:25PM

I would worry about something else today - ** -- bigbadbird 04/12/2020 1:52PM

Is the question - will your roof leak now? -- PhotoHokieNC 04/12/2020 1:21PM

...only when it rains ** -- chumley 04/12/2020 4:21PM

Yes, I am worried about tonight. It being Sunday I am doubtful I will be -- dallasvt 04/12/2020 1:34PM

If the roof wasn't already leaking, you're likely ok for the near term. -- PhotoHokieNC 04/12/2020 1:43PM

Thank you for the information. ** -- dallasvt 04/12/2020 1:49PM

You’re welcome. Low overhead.😊 ** -- PhotoHokieNC 04/12/2020 2:09PM
