Recent high winds in my area blew my chimney pipe over on top of the roof. It came apart where their is a joint in the pieces of stove pipe. Can I easily put these back together myself? I haven't made it up on the roof as I just noticed it tonight, it's raining and I'm home alone with my 3 little kids.
 
It should go back together fine. They're twist-lock. I would add some locking bands at the joints after you get it back together.
It also sounds like you may need some roof brackets like these:
