Salt air corrodes fasteners and drip edge years before shingles look worn, so coastal roofs often fail from the metal out. Additions from later decades were often tied into the original roof without proper flashing; those seams are where the leaks live.
What it costs in St. Petersburg: a professional tarp install is a few hundred dollars and is nearly always reimbursable under a storm claim as mitigation — keep the receipt.

How it works
You can, but people get hurt on wet roofs every storm season, and a badly nailed tarp creates new leaks. If it's a single-story with a walkable pitch and the weather's cleared, it's doable; otherwise let a crew do it.
If the damage is from a covered event, tarping is a mitigation expense the policy expects you to incur. Photograph the damage before the tarp goes on.
