In School they taught us how to design for wind pressure. With open sided buildings the wind can create uplift. Unfortunately it can also happen with closed walls. If it creates enough to resist the weight of the building plus the friction force of the soil on the poles, there she goes! Wish you would have took a video of what was happening...would have been great educational footage. To prevent a similar occurance, drill a hole through the bottom of the pole and put a 1/2" diam. pipe through it so about 6" sticks out either side or bolt on a 2x4 crossways. Put 1 bag sacrete down the hole when you backfill. Sorry for your loss.
