Thankfully had some ratchet straps and stakes handy. But man, that didn't happen before in the last 10 years.
My concern now... is what do I do to stabilize them again? Do I just try to orient them vertically as much as possible and let the ground dry out and see what happens? Or has the soil around the roots expanded so much that it's lost it's compaction and now they will be at risk, requiring me to do something further?

You're not alone. I have two Sutherland Caraganas and they both toppled over this evening because of the wet soil and strong wind. My neighbor is an arborist and says that apparently for my trees it should be safe to dig them up and replant them as the roots likely aren't broken. I'm not sure if that would be the same for your trees though.
