Help, my apartment sprung a leak - guess I am not going to sleep tonight
Here I am sitting at my computer and all of a sudden I here drip, drip, drip. I look up and I see my ceiling is leaking. Then I look down on the floor and my floor is full of water - the water if puring out of the A/C in both my bedroom and the living room. I put down some towels and within 10 minutes they were totally saturated, so I got a baking dish and that filled half way up in like 15 minutes. I hated to do it but I called the super at 2 am. He was pretty nice about and came up right away. Unfortunately there isn't much that can be done while it is raining so hard - the rain is coming down in buckets and diagonal, so it is coming in through the A/C's. He emptied my pans (I am not supposed to lift anything heavy) and he did a better job of placing a few different ones and also put a couple of them on my computer desk for the ceiling leak. Nothing can be done for that until the rain stops because that has to do with the roof. I tend to think that is going to be an ongoing problem now I know others than have had ceiling problems and they didnt get fixed so fast. Just what I need now.
I am afraid to go to sleep for any period of time since I don't know how much water will accumulate in the buckets. I don't want them to overflow. Granted I don't have any carpet but I have wood furniture.
Good old mother nature. Its going to be a long night

I'm so sorry you're going through that!!! It's raining very hard here also, and the wind is really picking up. I'm in Long Island, New York. I've heard some weird noises outside. Not sure if it is hailing or if stuff is starting to blow around. I know I should go to bed but I'm too jumpy! I hope the rain slows down and that your place dries out soon!
