we had already been through a month of concrete ice which likely weakened it. plenty of single digit temp days
but yes there are some pretty big wind gusts right now so that was prob what did it
Bottom paged.

It was 75 here yesterday. It’s been snowing for the past two hours and we’re under a winter weather watch for 6 more hours.

Dang yo, almost half my family got hit by a tornado the other day. Our high school's mascot is a tornado, named for a tornado that wiped out the town a hundred years ago. Living up to the name.

5 inches of rain since Friday morning. The ground is so saturated that water is coming up through the concrete floor in a few isolated spots of the basement.

Yeah that’s not good. When our basement flooded in Chicago years ago, I showed the waterproofing guy the water seeping up through the floor cracks and he geeked out and started taking a video to show his colleagues. I guess it’s quite rare and extreme.
You got drain tile and a sump pump down there?

We've lived here for 14 years and this has never happened. No sump pump but floor drains.

Godspeed. I assume you have more soil around your home to absorb the rains. Ours was a corner townhome in the city, so by nature of the layout, there was only a relatively small and narrow L shaped yard around the basement, then impervious concrete and structure beyond that. It also rained for like three days straight when it happened.
