The mops and buckets are out in full force at the Edmonton Law Courts Thursday morning, where water was flooding the cafeteria and pedway under the downtown building at 1A Sir Winston Churchill Square.
Buckets dotted the pedway hallway and water could be seen pouring from the ceiling. It was a similar scene in the cafeteria, where cleaning crews were working to sop up the mess.
A rainfall warning was in effect in Edmonton due to a long episode of heavy rain, however the warning ended late Thursday morning.
