The power company took down some trees by the airstream and I don’t know if the crashed it. It seems like a strong area. Maybe floor failure? I replaced the rear floor a while back. Frame failure? Normal? I’m stumped. Ideas? Opinions?

I am betting it is nothing major. Often these windows, especially those without two inner clasps (ie. only one clasp on one corner to hold it closed) tweak a little bit. On my '61 TradeWind, I am looking into a window with similar characteristics as yours. The rearmost lower corner sticks out when it is clasped with its only clasp, which is on the front lower corner.
I have thought about centering the clasp, or adding another clasp to the rear lower corner so the window can be pulled closed properly.
