How much wind velocity would it take to rip a 1,000 pound chunk of metal roof and lumber off of a roof and propel it over 40 ft. buildings and have it land 100 yards away?

You'd need to have about an F-3 tornado, and the wind speeds are around 150 to 200 mph.

Here, let me help you out with a link.........................

Tornado Classification, F-Scale: EnchantedLearning.com

Tornadoes are classified into five categories, F-0 through F-5. F-0 tornadoes are the mildest. F-5 tornadoes are the most dangerous (and the rarest).

• F-0 40-72 mph, Light damage, chimney damage, tree branches broken
• F-1 73-112 mph, Moderate damage, mobile homes pushed off foundation or flipped over
• F-2 113-157 mph, Considerable damage, mobile homes demolished, trees uprooted
• F-3 158-205 mph, Severe damage, roofs and walls torn down, trains overturned, cars thrown around
• F-4 207-260 mph, Devastating damage, well-constructed walls leveled
• F-5 261-318 mph, Violent damage, homes lifted off foundation and carried considerable distances, autos thrown as far as 100 meters.

Depends on the shape and surface area of the chunk.
