A water main break early Thursday flooded a number of homes in the North Park neighborhood, police reported.

San Diego Police officers closed off  Idaho Street between University and Polk avenues, University Avenue between Idaho and Arizona streets, and Lincoln Avenue between Idaho and Hamilton streets after the ruptured main began disgorging water into the area around 3 a.m.

It was not immediately known how long the closures would remain in effect, according to police.
