House Rayburn Building floods

Rayburn House Office building is flooding, according to several sources on Twitter.

Rayburn House Office building is flooding, according to several sources on Twitter.

“The Architect of the Capitol (AOC) is currently responding to a burst water line above the fourth floor of the Rayburn House Office Building,” said Erin Courtney, a spokeswoman for the Architect in an email to Federal News Radio. ” The leaking is primarily affecting the southwest corner corridors. Congressional staff and Capitol Hill visitors are asked to avoid the area to assist the AOC’s cleanup efforts.”

Courtney said at this time the Architect doesn’t  expect Rayburn to be closed June 22.

 

While that video was taken on the fourth floor, others report waterfalls on the third floor and in the elevators.

Apparently, maintenance crews are already on scene to deal with the flooding.
