Why winter does this

Cold fronts off the Indian Ocean bring sustained westerly wind rather than short gusts. Sustained pressure bows a door outward, and a bowed door works its way out of the guides or tracks.

It is a different failure to the impact damage that causes most off-track doors elsewhere, and it tends to happen overnight with nobody watching.

What not to do

Don't run the opener to see whether it will correct itself. Every cycle drags it further out of square and starts bending slats or panels.

On a roller door in particular, forcing a curtain that has come out of its guide is the fastest way to turn a $250 job into a curtain replacement.

Making it safe

Pull the emergency release so the opener isn't holding load, then leave the door where it is. Don't try to lever it back.

If it's stuck open and the garage connects to the house, say so when you ring — that moves it up the queue. Photograph it before anything changes if you may be claiming on storm damage.
