Narrative
The roof drain was closed per procedure when the rain started at approximately 1-1:30am. At 4:30am, the roof drain was opened but there was already a large amount of water on the roof due to record rainfall. Ultimately the roof drain could not catch up with the collected water and the water continued to build up on the roof weighing it down. The weight of the roof allowed product to be displaced onto the roof through the leg sleeves causing oil to be released thru the roof drain, no repairs were necessary. The tank was returned to service.
