tank rupture
Well. That was startling.
The toilet in my house had a sudden and unanticipated loss of hold tank structural integrity.
Happily, it was the upper tank that broke -- so the floodwater was clean water -- and i got to the shutoff valve quickly. The water didn't escape the bathroom, and every larger-than-a-facecloth towel in my house is now on the floor of the bathroom or cycling thru the laundry (since while the water was clean, the bathroom floor certainly was not).
