Happen yesterday. A water main broke.

Where I used to live, we got a huge storm on top of a water main that was leaking next door for a few weeks. I put a siphon in the garage and it ran for three days, but we only got an inch of water in the actual basement. I always thought it was weird I could hear dripping water by the neighbors storm drain, but I didn't know it was a leak until later.

Happened in Skokie too.  Thermal cycling from climate change is chewing up the ground

Yeah but anywhere else the main wouldnt be a lead pipe thats been there for 100 years and just waiting to go. And your insurance would probably cover it.

The water is receding now but it was like this for about two days. This neighborhood is predominantly Mexican immigrants and it’s a tragedy.

Yesterday; as someone who is literally in Mexican Town right now (where this happened) - I can tell you the streets are drained and cleared.

Could have been last week ya fuck... I've taken the meaning wrong. It was meant as in the movie "The day after tomorrow" i was wrong for acting this way

No big deal. I wasn't clear; I should have used quotes. This is why grammar is important.

Same thing happened in Skokie, Illinois just a few days ago. Horrible disaster
