We happened to be flying past and saw the geyser. In this pic you can see the broken hydrant on the sidewalk at the lower-left above (across the street from) the fire truck. You can also see how water pooled at the roof edges where they meet the false wall of the building with roof damage.

Awesome photo and videography people! Every time I ram a fire hydrant I usually split too since I'm pretty drunk!

We happened to be flying past during the geyser, and I've sent an aerial pic to Ed and KEYT. Also posted more pix on SBitZ.NET including one that shows why there was a partial roof collapse and water damage to the building. Looks like the geyser may have been 120' or so, judging by the pix. Quite a few people watching it on surrounding streets too, some of them unable to see what was causing it (and probably wondering what's up).
