You should give consideration to mounting it on an exterior wall instead of the roof, to help protect the integrity of your roof. Mounting on the exterior wall protects the dish from being beat from all directions. If you live in a block or concrete home the anchors has a lot stronger material to attach to than the OSB in the roof.

We've been lucky over the years with Irma and the other storms but that of course is just luck. Don't give yourself a weak spot for damage to start on your roof during a storm. If the dish gets ripped off by the storm that is where the roof damage will start and will spread rapidly from there.

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero
Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
