[Progress.071] Sarking installed, but is it strong enough for the storm without the roof tiles?

I having been talking and worrying about the coming storm since last week, but seems that the more you wish something to happen, the more it will go against you...

We had beautiful weather for the past few days.
On Monday, nothing happened...
On Tuesday, nothing much either. Only thing was, someone removed all the wrapping plastics around the roof tiles... As shown below, there seems to be quite a number of broken tiles...

This one from different angle, a few more broken tiles. Hope these shining dark grey tiles look good when placed on top of the red bricks...

There were a few bags of these small soft foam things been delivered as well, not sure what's that for...

Late this afternoon, we finally have some activities. Didn't have my camera with me, so only took a few not-so-clear photos from my mobile. Need to walk across the street as our house is a lot higher than the street level. From photo below, looks like they have finished installing the sarking.

But, what about the roof tiles? There's a storm coming tonight/tomorrow morning, how are these thin sarking paper going to survive the storm and protect my timber flooring/frames without the roof tiles??!! Don't they ever check the weather forecast and plan their work accordingly??

They finally have this machine installed, looks like it's for delivering the roof tiles to the higher level. Can't understand why they didn't install this thing earlier during the brick stage. It would cut down at least a week's time and save lots of effort as the brick layers won't need to manually handle the bricks...

If you compare the above photos with photos from previous post, you might notice now that the roof area been blocked, the area inside the 1st floor windows seems to be a lot darker now... Hopefully when the white ceiling been installed, it will look better...
