Missing Hydrant It looks like someone backed over the fire hydrant in my apartment complex, turning the ally into a river. San Diego, CA. March 3, 2010.
Almost Flooded My apartment nearly flooded once the downpour started. Its a good
thing that I was able to improvise and put my phone books to use
for once and fill in the cracks with dirt and mulch from nearby (and the
rain slowed). Minor
flooding isn't unusual for this apartment since it is low lying, but it
usually doesn't go much past the stairs or porch. Today was different.
The combination of over an hour of heavy downpour and a new
landscaping job left my apartment especially vulnerable, turning my staircase
into a river. I called the office, they said they would send maintenance
but I lost hope of that since its already past 5 PM here. The video
and first few photos are from before my handywork,
the remainder are of the aftermath.
