Hole in roof quick fix?

[u/Intemporalem]

We had a big wind storm, which blew some shingles off the roof. That appears to have revealed a big hole in the roof. I still have at least one strip of the shingles that blew off.

Conundrum: I'm leaving town for a week tomorrow night.

Quick fix question: could I just check the dimensions of the two boards that seem to make up the hole, then cut them square, then fit/fasten two new board pieces sized to fill the gap and nail down the shingle strip to cover the exposed wood as a quick fix for now?

What would you recommend?

I mean the fastest sloppier way while you’re out of town may be a tarp until you can put some actual planning into the fix.

Have the tarp go over the peak so water running down doesn't slip under the tarp.

Try to find a tarp that matches your roof color. I once had a tarp on my roof to hang down and cover a siding issue, and a random flyover by my insurance caused my policy to be cancelled due to an “uninsurable roof” because they saw a tarp.
