Here in Centreville, things are going swimmingly

I live on the ground floor of a three story apartment complex. Last night, the sprinkler system in the apartment above my neighbor went off, flooding the apartment. My neighbor's apartment also got flooded. The flooding went above my neighbor's baseboard and some of it spilled into my apartment. I was mopping up my kitchen and bathroom at about 5 A.M. To assist in the drying, maintenance has torn out much of the padding underneath my carpet. Now I've got an industrial fan running all day trying to get the water out of the carpeting. Tomorrow maintenance will bring in a second fan. The work to recover from the flooding is expected to take all week.


I like the warning on the fan being used to dry out the carpeting:

    It's times like these we remember the truly important things in life. Hopefully FEMA is there helping out. I pray you and your family will be safe.

    It wasn't too bad for me. I think my neighbors got screwed, though.
