Busted Fire Hydrant with PICS

[Pokey007]

It was around 4:00 pm yesterday, and I hear a loud crash from my room. Then I look outside and see a flood running down the street. It seems some truck backed into the hydrant and created a new "spring." Our town's finest showed up, but it took them about 3 hours turn off the water main. They didn't catch the guy who did it either, he drove off.

I think a normal hydrant will supply 1000 gallons a minute (18 x 55 gallon drums!), but I dunno how much if you rip it a new one

There IS a picture of the source. It is where the fire hydrant used to be.

just for reference as well our 20' round swimming pool (above ground, about 4' deep) is 20,000 gallons and takes about 3 days to fill with a garden hose.
