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.
