Homeowner struggles to cool attic in hot, hurricane-prone climate despite existing ridge and soffit vents, and seeks safe, hurricane-resistant ventilation solutions.

Existing solutions (power vents, solar fans) require cutting roof, which risks water ingress in hurricanes; unclear if soffit-mountable fans exist or if baffles would help without roof penetration.
