What could've caused this hole in my sheathing?

Pictures are taken from inside my attic. Second-story house, so this hole is probably 30+ feet above the ground. No idea if the dark shading around the hole is moisture or not (I have no way to easily touch the sheathing with my own hands). It's strange to me that the wood is bent inwards yet there's no hole in the wrapping (at least not that I can see from a low angle). I have an insurance adjustor already coming by next week to look at a hail-damaged roof. This house also went through a big fuckin' hurricane last year. My "hope" is that this is damage caused by either event and that insurance will cover it. My fear is that an animal somehow did this, either a rodent or an errant contractor. Have any of y'all seen anything similar before? submitted by /u/happy_hole [link] [comments]
