Freezing temperatures caused pipes to burst and flood at Graywhale Entertainment in Taylorsville Tuesday.
"We heard a very loud thump and rumble and then it sounded like someone turned on every shower in a hotel at the same time," said the owner Dustin Hansen.
Hansen said the extreme cold caused a fire suppression system malfunction that led to pipes breaking. "We've had some friends in the industry, their roof caved in. You know, they had flooding and stuff that ruined their entire inventory," said Hansen."So that's kind of the first thought that we all had when we saw what was happening. Like, oh it's over.""They jumped right into action, immediately started pulling things down and protecting what we could," said Hansen.
Hundreds of people commented on an Instagram post by Graywhale showing the flooding, offering to help."The best support for us is to come back when we're open, support your local record store," he said."Buy stuff, you know continue to do what you do. That makes us who we are.""We're kind of excited to get everything reset and then get back to what we like to do and say hi to people and sell records," he said.
