John came over today and we were able to fix all three headers. We pulled them off the inside using wedges pounded down between the OSB and the header, and cut the king studs, adding an new one on each end. It turned out to be rather simple -- took around 5 hours to do all three of them. We glued them back to the OSB, and I dare say they are in there better now than they were before.
We also had to put on three new pieces of soffit where that 65 MPH wind had sucked three of them off. We put screws through the edge of the first piece into the header board to hold it better.
Also, I was able to take some pictures of the baby of one of my workers. He prefers me not to mention any names...
