SO WE HAD A FLOOD AT THE LAW SCHOOL TODAY, with a burst pipe in the sprinkler system. Almost half the faculty had our offices flooded. What was really amazing is that some students (led by a Marine) got on a group text and organized to do damage-mitigation almost instantly. I was in class, and by the time I got out and found out what happened, they had already gotten my computer, other electronics, and various obviously important books and paper out of my office, and a bunch of them, barefoot and with their pants rolled up, were doing the same in other offices. Nobody had to ask them to do it, they just organized themselves. If you wonder why I think UT Law is a special place, this is an example.
