There was a major roof leak over sudo/ccl last night.

It was caused by a clog in the main roof drainpipe which caused a lot of water to build up on the roof (over ankle height along the west side of the building).

CCL was hit pretty hard while sudo room got away with a big puddle on the floor.

Patrik and myself spent the night dealing with the fallout in CCL and it's still not done. I did unclog the clog though.

I didn't get to the sudo room puddle. If anyone is up for tackling it there is a metal shop vac sitting in CCL which is currently configured for wet operation. It will suck it right up. Be very sure to only plug it in through the GFCI adapter (which it was plugged into when I left) and the first thing you do before using it should be checking the water level and emptying it out if it's close to half full. I didn't empty it again before I left. Remember that water is surprisingly heavy, lift with your knees and don't lift alone if at all possible. I speak from experience.

Thanks to Ian for alerting us about the leak and for lighting my way on the roof.
