Water seeks the easiest route and can appear anywhere when in fact the leak may be far away from the actual leak inside. Consult a professional for best results.

It only takes one shingle not tacked down to cause a leak. Check the edges of all shingles on the edges of the roof too for leakage.

You must have accumulated some water in the walls and it just gave way. It could be you have clogged gutters or downspout.
