Weight, a force in lbs, is not the same as g-force (m/s^2), which is an acceleration. You can't directly compare the two without knowing the time over which the acceleration occurs (and even then you only get an average force over time).

The comment you’re replying to correctly used F=ma to impute the amount of sustained acceleration the roof could support.
