That said - it's impressive you put that much into it.
My roof is finished and I will post some pics a little later.

I do not have insurance for wind storms it costs about 5k a year here
we are in south dade in the ANDREW eye wall area
so when the post andrew roof began to leak I decided to do a bahama style
multi layer plywood roof then add metal on top and spend to survive rather then throw cash at the state run ins corp every year
both projects were aided by close out deals the ply came from a completed condo project in the keys two still shipping strapped bundles at about 1/2 wholesale
and the steel because a wife in Naples wanted the standing seam after she saw the delivered 5v so extra long pieces new but surplus to the builder's needs were cheap
lots of driving over weight trailers but lots of cash saved
we likely spend double or even a bit more on the roof even with the ply and steel savings it was very slow going and labor intensive
but I think it will survive any cat 5
all windows doors and the garage door have steel shutters over older style hurricane
rated windows and doors we are in a no flood zone X so wind is our only worry
