UPDATE, 8:30 p.m.: Scanner Traffic Indicates superstar “Just-In” is live-blogging Humboldt Bay Fire’s response to a confirmed water main break across Myrtle. Water is covering the roadway in deep Myrtle, and it looks like they’re going to be controlling traffic for a while.

Location roughly here:

###

INSTAUPDATE: Likely lead from the CHP dispatch:

HUMBOLDT BAY FIRE IS INVESTIGATING A POSS WATER MAIN BREAK/MYRTLE AT HALL/LOW PRESSURE THERE/ADVISED OF THIS

###

A huge flurry of reports just hit the Outpost’s various social and traditional media channels to the effect that suddenly there is no water coming out of the taps in the Myrtletown area.

Might this CHP dispatch report noting water covering the street at Myrtle and Spear have anything to do with it? We do not yet know.

In the meanwhile: Check in, Myrtletownies. Do you have water or do you not have water, and generally whereabouts are you in Myrtletown?
