A state that can't afford to waste water, a damn shame.

Los Angeles water main break floods Sunset Boulevard, UCLA campus

(CNN) -- Streets turned into rivers and parts of UCLA turned into lakes after a massive water main break sent 8 to 10 million gallons of water gushing through parts of Los Angeles.

The deluge was so massive that swift-water rescue crews with boats had to ferry away several stranded people.

At least three motorists were rescued from underground parking garages where stairwells had turned into raging waterfalls.

A water main broke in Los Angeles spreading ankle-deep water across sections of the UCLA campus Tuesday.

Dozens of vehicles were partly submerged, UCLA said. At least two of the inundated garages belong to the university.

And while authorities managed to stop the water hemorrhage by Tuesday night, the situation might not clear until later Wednesday.
