I'm up at the space right now and we've got a decent amount of water
coming in from the outside wall beside the back door and the door's
door frame. I'll post photos when I can get out to my car and grab a
cable.

Leak's stopped with the rain but the carpet right there at the back
door/bathroom's pretty saturated.

Do I need to grab some towels? We have two wet dry Vacs if needed in the shop. I'm about to stop by and see what we can do to stop it/clean up.

Some towells might not be a bad idea. I forgot about the wet-dry vacs.
I'll get started on that.

Ok, Claudio and I have gotten the water up at the back door. We've
pulled up the tiles since it was already underneath them. As far as we
can tell the water over the door is coming in from a crack in the
masonry up top, and the side looks like it's from the outside
downspout. Someone's probably going to have to go up on the roof/side
to check it in the morning/Monday.

The threshold at the bottom of the back door is rather loose. It may need to be replaced as well. Mark vacuumed about a half gallon of water from around the back door.
