School was closed for three weeks. The basement and up to the landing of the basement stairs connecting the first floor was flooded. The school ordered all students home when the power had been out for about 48 hours and the main substation's switch was about to go under.
Our science building was up on a little hill too, so I imagine 12 feet was a conservative estimate for one level and half of another to be wiped out.
