Sewage Main Break in North Pinellas

Around 7:15 in the morning a 36 inch main sewer pipe burst.  This rupture is pouring out wastewater at an alarming rate.  The water is pouring out at a rate of 1000 gallons per minute.  It is unclear where the water is going and what environmental impacts will occur from this main break.  Some water will be absorbed into the ground, but it appears most of the water is draining back into a sewer at the bottom of the hill. And, phew is it ever stinky.
