We had a rug problem! My apartment flooded! First we had no idea it flooded. I stepped on the wet carpet in the hallway and thought someone threw water on it. I thought nothing of it until twenty minutes later when we realized the entire bedroom was wet! The next thing I knew the alarm started going off! We are on the second story, and it affected the stove of the people downstairs. We had to get out of the apartment building. Most of us were worried about our cat because we could not bring him outside. He was fine. We found him three hours later!
We had to stay out of the apartment for about an hour while the building was searched for fires. After we got back inside I told my mother about the situation since she was not home. Then over the course of a couple of months we had to start packing up. This was so we could get the carpets replaced. I felt fine but was tired from having to do this.
The carpets are replaced now. Now we are getting vinyl floors. I hope this never happens again.
