I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that the pressure type
limit switches only reversed the door when it was on it's way down -
i.e. the motor had to be operating at the time it hit an obstruction.
It would seem to me that if a ground swell could open a door, then
simply pulling up on the handle hard enough would turn the motor on and
open the door at any time. I guess that would be a good test for this
situation. Grab the handle and pull up hard. If the door opens, then
perhaps the ground is causing it to open, but I'd think that would be a
bigger problem than simply the limit switch being close to it's limit.
