10:30am the dam broke and the flood waters rushed in. We were trapped, suspended 9 floors above the ground. There was nothing to do but face the rapidly rising water.
Who would've thought that a water main breaking in my hallway would bring a little slice of Hurricane Rita into my downtown Toronto condo!?
I DIDN'T!
IT WAS CHAOS! People yelling, buckets filling, towels wedging, wrenches wrenching and water FLOODING!
After the chaos, I received two pieces of industrial equipment. 1 large and loud heated fan and one tall and blue dehumidifier.
Trust me they are loud, but, they are there to dry out the carpet before it starts to smell like bad!

It was only minor. Just a shock to everyone when it happened. Luckily I was home to hear the water rushing like a waterfall outside my front door.
Aidan was on his way over so he arrived in time to lend a hand and ask important home improvement questions to the super and building manager on my behalf.
All is well, and although the contents of my hall closet and utility room are in my front hallway, it's made a productive start to clearing everything out.
Guys are going to come and steamclean my front hallway for me so all is well!
