- If you have to have a huge underground pipe break in your neighborhood, a warm spring morning is not the worst day for it. If you live below grade, it’s still pretty traumatic.
- I didn’t know pavement could do that.
- The overall response from the City workers was great; the sad thing is that they’ve done this so often that they have it all down pat. I wanted to kiss them for working through the 4-hour downpour that evening that I’m sure kept it from getting any worse.
- The contractors were out in force; we had 3 business cards for specialists in water damage in our mail slot within 8 hours.
- Now I know what rush hour sounds like without traffic on Florida Avenue. And that articulated Metro buses can back up very, very long distances.
- Life goes back to normal pretty quickly, all things considered. Until the next one breaks…
