What is shingle creasing from wind damage?

Shingle creasing is a fold line across an asphalt shingle caused by wind uplift that breaks the adhesive mat bond. Creased shingles may reseal but the bond is compromised and the shingle will fail in the next wind event. Commonly missed by inexperienced adjusters. Per NRCA roof inspection guidance.
