Massive Water Main Break Floods LA Suburb (Feb 18)
An 18-inch water main burst in Hollywood Hills early Wednesday morning causing severe damage with cars submerged and a torrent that flooded streets and homes.
At least 100,000 gallons of water flowed like a river through the 6400 block of Dix Street near Cahuenga Boulevard.
The water main break was reported around 2 a.m. and continued to flow for hours. Basements of apartment complexes were flooded, and sidewalks even began to crack as a result of the burst.
It's not clear what caused the 18-inch pipe to rupture.

Geyser of Boiling Water Floods Siberian Street (Feb 17)
More than 2,000 people have been left without central heating in Central Siberia after a heating pipe burst, spurting a 15-meter-high jet of boiling liquid into the air.
A video of the incident shows the geyser-like fountain towering over a number of residential houses, raining down hot water while onlookers watch on.
Twenty houses and a school have been left without heating after the accident, affecting 2,100 people.
There were no injuries as a result of the blast, and it is expected that heating will be restored by about 8 p.m. on Tuesday evening.
The temperature in Tyumen hovered at about minus 23 degrees Celsius overnight and will warm up to about minus 15 C during the day, the Russian weather bureau reported.

Waterbury PD: Water main break to close road for days
WATERBURY, Conn. (WTNH) — A Saturday water main break will affect drivers for days.
The Waterbury Bureau of Water says a 42-inch main broke on Thomaston Avenue near the Thomaston town line early in the morning, washing out a portion of the road. Waterbury police say Thomaston Avenue in the area will be closed for days.
Customers the broken main normally supplies are being served by another line; however, increased water flow in that line may cause areas of discolored water, the bureau says. According to the bureau, water quality will improve with time, but until then, customers are encouraged to avoid use of washing machines and dishwashers, and limit unnecessary water usage.
Repairs have been started on the broken main.

Ithaca loses 200-thousand gallons of water in main break
A street in Ithaca's South Hill neighborhood will be shut down again on Monday so crews can make permanent repairs after a big Sunday morning water main break.
The break, at the corner of South Aurora and Pleasant Streets, forced a several hours' long detour as 200-thousand gallons of water poured into nearby homes. 12 houses had their basements pumped out by Ithaca Firefighters. Crews, at last word, were still removing ice from sidewalks and the roadway, which re-opened Sunday afternoon.
On Monday morning, the same detour used today will go into effect at 7am: Hudson Street to Hudson Place, or Coddington Rd. to Route 96, as repair crews shut down South Aurora Street to make permanent repairs to the ruptured pipe.

Toronto: there have been dozens of water main breaks reported across the city this week
Broken water mains, High Park sinkhole causing problems for public transit
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/broken-water-mains-high-park-...
Police closed parts of Progress Avenue near Markham Road as crews attempted to clean up a water main break this morning.
The TTC 134 Progress bus was diverting in both directions to avoid the area, but has since returned to it's regular route.
Another water main break is causing traffic problems on eastbound Eglinton Avenue at Kennedy Road.
On Wednesday, at least a dozen of breakages were reported across the city, with some North York homes on Old Orchard Grove flooded with sewage water.
The relatively warmer temperatures are likely the cause of the sudden spat of burst water mains.
The city says North York, Scarborough and Etobicoke have a higher rate of water main breaks because pipes in those areas are predominately in clay soil instead of sand.
High Park sinkhole
Near High Park on residential Coe Hill Drive, crews began working with jackhammers early this morning to widen a two-metre wide and three-metre deep sinkhole that opened up last night.
The sinkhole started with a water main break, police said, and the sewers beneath the hole have collapsed.
Residents in the area told CBC News that the stretch of road had been seemingly unstable for several years.
The TTC 71 Runnymede route is diverting around the sinkhole.

One man dies and seven injured as near-boiling water floods streets of Swedish city after bus crash
- Gallons of 88C water escaped from burst heating pipe into streets of Lund
- City became shrouded in thick steam, reducing the visibility to a minimum
- Witnesses allegedly saw bus careering down street with sparks underneath
- Police now investigating whether fatal crash and deluge of water are linked
A man has died and seven people were injured after a bus crashed in a deluge of near-boiling water which had flooded the streets of a Swedish city.
A cloak of thick stream shrouded the centre of Lund on Friday evening, after gallons of 88C water burst out from a broken heating pipe and swamped the city centre.
The reduced visibility is believed to have caused a bus driver to lose control of his vehicle and plough into a group of pedestrians, including the man who died.
A burst heating pipe caused a deluge of near-boiling water to flood the streets of Lund, Sweden on Friday
The water, which was said to be about 88C, caused the city to become shrouded in a cloak of thick steam
Witnesses reported seeing the vehicle careering down the street with sparks flying from underneath, believed to have been caused by a crushed bicycle.
It was later confirmed that one man died while a further seven people were treated for minor injuries at Skåne University Hospital.
Police are still investigating whether the bus crash and the flooding were linked. The emergency services believe the source of the leak was a fractured district heating pipe.
Nils Norling at Skåne police told Swedish website The Local: 'When you see a bus approaching careering in that manner and hear people screaming and see somebody lying in one place and someone lying in another, then it all becomes rather overwhelming.'
He added: 'Units have reported almost zero visibility.'
The crash was reported to police at around 7.15pm, an hour after the flooding began. Officers cordoned off the area while investigations took place.

Maryland family flees car before it's swallowed up by giant sinkhole
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/md-family-flees-car-sinkho...
A pipe burst early Tuesday morning in Prince George's County, creating a massive hole in the ground that consumed the vehicle. Water initially flooded the family's basement and they got into the car to escape -- then left it before it descended into the roadway.
A Maryland family had to make a fast escape from their car before it was gobbled up into a massive sinkhole early Tuesday morning.
The flooded street caused an amazing sight as the vehicle was left nearly buried inside the roadway following a water main break in Prince George's County, in suburban Washington.
The burst occurred shortly before 3:50 a.m. and the water flowed into a house that several families occupied, Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission spokesman Jerry Irvine told the Daily News.
A family of two adults and two or three children lived in the basement and they were woken up by the pouring water, he said.
They decided to flee the home and jump into their silver compact car, but it was almost a tragic mistake.
