4 inches in 1 1/2 hour
 

Yep that's right 4 inches of rain in 1 1/2 hours. 4 1/2 inches for the
night. All the ponds ovdrflowed, the septic tank flooded ( not into the
ponds...the ponds into it) The rain came down the hill and over ran the berms.
The ponds are filled with mud, and one of the liners lifted up fpr a while
..Upon close inspection there are no casualties this morning...except for some
lotus buds. All the fish seem fine. I just hope nothing toxic washed in

That's a lot of rain -- Is the mud in the ponds from the hill? Hope it
all clears for you? and that you're not expecting more storms. We're
supposed to have rain showers tomorrow, but after several days of 75-85
degrees, I'm ready for a little moisture.

It is raining now as we speak. Yes all the mud was washed in. The larger koi
pond is pretty clear today can see down about 2 of the 3 1/2 feet. The
smaller goldfish/lily pond is only clear a few inches down today. Still no
sick fish, so think we are ok there Jerri

HA! I can beat you! On Monday we received 2 1/4" in 20 minutes! I had just
gotten home from work, so I was there to pump the pond down. It dropped my
KH by 3 whole degrees (nearly 60 ppm). That's one of the reasons I keep my
KH so high. Ahhh, summertime . . . !
