Everett High School reopens Wednesday after flooding

Roads ran like rivers late Monday after two brief storms blasted North Everett. Water backed up into classrooms, locker rooms, music rooms, the theater and Performing Arts Center at Everett High School, forcing an abrupt closure.

Math teacher Kristin Gebert watched the water rise at her nearby home.

"I've never seen a rain like this," she said. "Somebody with a rain gauge in our neighborhood said we had something like 4 inches of rain over the course of the day."

Workers spent Tuesday drying and disinfecting the five school buildings impacted.

School officials deemed the damage "superficial."

They also said the situation could've been much worse if the storms had lasted longer.
