My parents had a second floor pipe burst when we were on vacation and no one was home. The heat was on but the pipe still froze as I guess it was run thru an area that wasn't adequately heated or insulated.
They live at the end of a dirt road with not many neighbors and by the time we found out about it, water was coming out thru the first floor shingles, the ceilings came down and the entire house ended up getting gutted right back to the studs..
