Crack at ceiling and wall?
some time ago I was told i needed brackets (huricane) to hold rafters to walls. House is 14 years old can they be installed after house is built or is there something else I could do. Walls or rafters move up and down 1/4 to 1/2 inch depending on season and has for 14 years.

Yes they can be installed after house is built. Access is from attic area. This happens a lot with truss roof construction. The trusses bend and flex with temp changes.
If you can get to the rafter and wall joint, the hurricane tide can be added. Check with your local Home Depot for the correct ties to do the job.
