Video shows water pouring from the ceiling from an office off from the Statehouse floor. A blue bucket was put under it, but can be seen overflowing with water.

Large puddles can be seen throughout the Senate floor.

Laura Battocletti, executive director of the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board that maintains the Statehouse, said that workers were drying things out by afternoon and starting to evaluate any damage, the Associated Press reported.

The AP reported that the flooding isn’t expected to affect the scheduled start of the new legislative session next
