The Apple Store in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida closed Wednesday evening due to flooding. While phone calls to The Gardens Mall Apple Store location went unanswered, staff at the mall’s office confirmed that the Apple Store was closed, characterizing it as, “wet.”
The Mac Observer was alerted to the closure after pro drummer Daniel East tweeted that a water main had flooded the location. There was no estimate as to when the location would reopen, but Apple is planning an iPad launch event at all its U.S. Apple Store locations on April 3rd.

Rising ocean levels due to Global Search and Replace Warming”
I was there today and I snapped a photo of the outside of the store, I’ve posted a link to the photo. The inside was soaked! Computers were covered and the posters were being torn off the walls. The water leak closed neighboring stores as well. Even the outside of the store was dripping water. http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt206/iPatxx/80337831.jpg
Do you know the woman looking at the camera or were facebombed?
That’s my neighbor she came with me! lol :]
An airconditioning tank holding 800 gallons burst. Store probably wont reopen for awhile
“Wet"seems like a bit of an understatement.
Yeah, Jeff and I were laughing when we were told that, Geoduck, which is why we included it in the story.
You’d be surprised at how fast something like this can be cleaned up when you throw enough money at it. If the leak itself is fixed, I’d be flabbergasted if the store isn’t open for this weekend’s festivities.
Soaked Macs and iPhones and iPods (and iPads?)!!! Oh the humanity!
Don’t forget the peripherals, ipod and iPhone accessories, and boxes of software that was damaged.
