It has been suggested that the house is settling. It is in Michigan
and is probably over 50 years old. It has a cinder block basement.
Some of the floor/walls are leaning as much as one inch over a three
foot area. There is an obvious high spot in the floor above a support
beam in the basement.

To complicate the matter, the house was recently hit by a large tree
which punctured a hole in the roof and side of a newer addition
located beside the original house during a high wind/tornado. The
storm was strong enough to uproot nearby mature oak trees.

Question is: The house is so dramatically out of plumb. If it was
caused by settling, would there be obvious cracking of the cinder
block. I cannot see any cracks in the block. In the absence of
foundation cracks, would the wind be the more likely cause? Thanks
for your time and help!!
