Anyone hear about this?

Apparently they were filling the pool last night and left the pump on all night, flooded all the basketball courts and the post office behind the courts. Intramurals are canceled for tomorrow, maybe the whole week.

I don't think there was much damage if any. They had a lot of people out there working to get it cleaned up really quick

and if it is only taking a week it could've been much worse...as much as those floors cost they better have been out there quickly to clean things up...but water and hard wood floors just don't mix very well

i'm electing you to do that job. they actually have some pretty slick gadgets that will pull the moisture out of the wood. there have been several employees working on it since about 4am and they are responsible for saving the courts. the floors are not ruined, but will need several days to dry out.

What a way to spend a perfectly good snowy Sunday. Hate to hear about that. I remember the Vines getting flooded and developing rumble bumps on the floor.
