Is your water usage up too?

This happened to me one month last winter and the following month my hot water heater went kaput and dumped the full 60 gallons on the floor.

Apparently the month before it had developed a slow leak. Small enough that a nearby basement drain kept it hidden but large enough to have it running 24/7 heating the cold water that was coming in to replace the hot water leaking out.

Even the morning after the super bowl the cop I asked about some of the weirder things on the police scanner summed it up with "There were some weird reports on the radio that turn out to be nothing and of course a few really stupid incidents you hear about on the news but it was mostly just crowd control. The overwhelming majority of people were just having a good time."
