After a heavy rain I noticed a powerful sewer smell coming from an upstairs bathroom. Any idea what caused this or how I can fix this?

Have someone check your vent terminal as you may have a combination system where storm and sanitary go into the same system and if your vent terminal is blocked (Vent through roof) then the leader lines may pull the trap seals out of the fixtures.

Very common problem especially on the upper floors of a building
