Very Real Tech Pics

When evaporated data condenses and the air gets super saturated.

Duh

Happened at a DC I worked at, but a little before my time. Someone thought it would be a bright idea to use the design of some 1970s Californian architectural prodigy in Canada. When winter hit, the humid air condensed on the inside of the uninsulated metal roof and it rained in the attic, eventually leaking out across the entire computer room ceiling. They had pictures that showed 6mm poly stretched out and taped above all the mainframes and DASD while water rained down from above, running off the sides of the plastic sheeting and pooling on the raised floor. They also used to throw wild alcohol-fueled Christmas parties, and climbed up on top of the racks so they could play games jumping from row to row. What a time to be employed!

"The roof's gone"

"How can you tell?"

"On the account it is not there anymore, and I can feel the rain"

"Oh, ok..."

Not sure how some red light 🚨 would help much.

although I’m not sure how that situation happens

Both the warning lights and the rain can be easily explained by some brain dead suit buying the wrong kind of fire suppression system because sprinklers using water are much cheaper than a system using a gaseous agent.
