"This is what happens every time it rains."

"4000 Block of N Galvez St. This is what happens every time it rains. These pumps do not seem to be working. However water is jumping out of the man holes. The pumps can not handle this amount of rain water; I guess we should all leave the city and visit as tourist when it's dry from time to time."
