Isn't the water supposed to be OUTSIDE the house??

Following the fierce winds and spectacular storm overnight and during the morning today, we thought it best to inspect the house to make sure it hadn't slid down the hill (you should have seen the kids faces when I said that - they nearly died! Had to explain it couldn't really)... Anyway, I had been suspicious that a couple of window sills had been leaking a little so wanted to check them out. One of the ones I was worried about was fine, but there were several others not so good and one leak that appeared to be coming from the roof, in Pink's room. So we'll get Mr Roofer and the window people out this week to have a look and see what is going on. Pinks room: a small but significant line of water running from the ceiling somewhere (Bikeman climbed up for a look but was unable to find anything else wet or where it might be coming from), resulting in a small puddle of water at the base of the wall.
Our bedroom - this one has been leaking for a while but I thought perhaps it was because the bricks weren't on - but no, still quite a severe leak.
In the Dining Room, small leak in the RHS corner.
Front window (Rumpus) - small leak in corner
Rumpus sliding door - quite a significant leak in the corner and along the sliding door internal ledge
