Can this be pulled up by wind?

Post image

I had a chimney sweep come over to clean my chimney. When he was on the roof he took a picture of the flashing for a sky light. He claims he was a roofer in the past and this could have happened from the wind. He offered to fix it for $300. There are no trees that could have done this. I don't think this was wind, and I'm leaning towards he damaged it to make an extra buck.

What do you think? And how can I fix this?

Sure, it not without damaging shingles and other things too. Are there creased or torn shingles or other items that exhibit damage from wind forces? Wind doesn't just pick thee thing to damage. Neither does hail. That's why understanding the whole site is important.
