Busted Fire Hydrant with PICS

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
 
How EXCITING!

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.
