yep looks like it holds water! Im suprised someone dident crawl it to to top when the rain started! I remember that day, that was alot of rain, we only got like 6 inches down here in joliet!

i guess the operator suggested crawling out but the e-joo-ma-kated engineer bosses said it would be fine. doh!
