Huge flood at my school today. My classroom has water everywhere, and many of the ceiling tiles have collapsed all over the place from the weight of the water. Everything is drenched from the waterfall that appeared this afternoon and apparently lasted at least an hour.

(We had a smaller one this morning that we managed to contain better. This was impossible to contain, and, as we were told to evacuate, we couldn't do much about it anyway.)

We took the kids over to another building, and some of them had to wait over an hour until their parents showed up.

After all the kids were gone, I went over, and it looked like something out of a movie: water dripping and all over everything, parts of the ceiling collapsed, all the lights out (as they are full of water.)

what a mess.

To clarify: I kind of got to glance at things a bit on my way through, but I wasn't able to go through anything in any detail. There's clearly a fair amount of damage, especially as our storage area was under one of the most heavily flooded areas, but I couldn't get up in the storage area (which is accessed by a ladder) to see. All the toys we had to abandon on the floor (as once the alarms started going off we were expected to evacuate immediately) were soaked, however, and a lot of our storage bins on the floor appear to be full of water. Also, the carpets are soaked, and unlikely to dry before they mildew.
