yesterday.

The Post Office was closed to the public for a good portion of the morning, re-opening at 10.30 a.m. Assistant Postmaster General Wenda Smith said that mail was not damaged and operations were only held up `for a few hours'.

The flood water, came from a burst pipe on the second floor and ran downstairs into the General Post Office customer lobby and into the basement area where the parcel post is. Firefighters attended.
