Re: fireworks NOW flooding

Donna,
I hear some relief will be moving into the area later in the week.  Were you
able to save some of the fish?  Can they be moved to a temporary tank while
the pond is stabilized?  I don't know anything about ponds, but I can
understand your pain.  Sounds like a lot of work in terrible conditions with
not very satisfactory results. I wish you luck.
Kitty
