Fire Hydrant Flood in Ross Parking Lot

Today when I was walking to class the fire department was purging a fire hydrant. This produced a flow of water that ran from the aerospace building into the drain in the parking lot of Ross. I was mindful of the properties and behaviors that the fluid was demonstrating; I did not just see a flood in Ross parking lot. I was mindful that the flow had a velocity gradient and profile. I was also mindful that even though the flow seemed to be very fast the water actually had zero velocity next to the concrete due to no slip conditions.
