This storm you would most likely find it on the East wall. The water either comes from between the blocks or in some cases between the monolithic slab and the block wall. You may find the carpet wet for a few feet in from the wall. This happened even at my home on the east side.....and I have no power to dry it out. Another source of water intrusion is the double windows with the arch window above it. Water comes in through the horizontal and vertical mullion between the windows. I am sorry I have not been more helpful here but without power and internet and with all the roof inspections we have been doing it has been challenging. Hope this has helped. Frank D.

This makes a lot of sense. It is the east facing wall and has never happened before even with some of the driving rain we have had in the past. It was an area about 4ft long and 1 1/2 ft wide directly under the window, but the window and framing was completely dry.
