I posted on alt.home.repair but am getting no answers - thought I'd try
over here...

Had heavy water come sideways in through my ridge vents... went out to
the car after the power went off and noticed what looked like a spot of
blood on the garage floor. Flicked the flashlight up to the ceiling and
saw these blood red spots. I grabbed my digital camera and am glad I did
because the next morning there were big water spots but not these weird
red drops...

I did go up the next day and there is nothing up there over the garage
but the rafters and the back of the drywall.

Roof was replaced about two years ago and I have the roofing guy coming
out to see if there is more problem than just Ivan.

Garage is 35 years old so I think this has to be exhaust condensation
due to the supersaturation of the drywall.
