Remember all the butthurt that you caused when you posted that "question" to the skydiver forum? For us, it was a legitimate question and discussion. I have no memory on how it started, but I do seem to remember we were having a serious discussion, somewhat morbid, but structurally valid. The resulting firestorm of responses showed that most everyone with that hobby have no scientific curiosity.
Now, after having a few years of repairing roofs, I'm now leaning toward not much damage at all, at least to the ceiling of the top floor. You might see some structural damage, but a layer of 5/8" plywood sheeting plus paper and asphalt shingles are surprisingly sturdy. Branches and trees that collapse on a roof don't do as much damage that I would have initially expected. Granted, a thick branch speared directly into the roof does penetrate, but even large branches falling even slightly flat on the roof don't really penetrate through enough to even get to the insulation sitting on the ceiling of the next floor...
Now, as for report cards, ours were never mailed. They were hand carried home, and the parents at home knew when that was and were expecting to see them that evening. Luckily, that year the layout and border were made up of built in printer graphics and it was pretty easy to replicate the exact look and feel to the point where it raised no suspicions with the school when the signed copy was returned the next day...
