rain_gryphonGee whiz, could it be that the Taliban are not to be trusted?

So, I'm reliably informed that Hurricane IDAK has ruint my old high school, even though I can find nothing on the web about it. This was in Southern Indiana - apparently they got about four inches of rain in one hour, which overwhelmed the drainage system, and they ended up with about a foot of water in the school. It's all slab built - concrete walls on a flat concrete slab, so the structure itself probably survived, but it was built in 1974, so was probably due to be replaced in a few years anyway. Certainly I put my share of wear on it. On the one paw, it's a shame to see something just get ruined like that, but on the other, the town can afford a new one with no real hardship. Much deeper pockets than these poor little villages in Louisiana and Mississippi that got smashed.
