sounds like a freight train outside my windows, dozens of tornados indicated in the area and about 16 hrs to go. I expect about a foot of rain in total (max).
Question: My 1/4 acre pond is about 1 acre already, LOL. I just stocked it. This pond is just a groundwater pond (no dam). Do fingerlings tend to venture over the banks and get trapped in pools as the pond recedes?

They can but most will be ok if the fall rate is slow.

Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

My entire wood stick house is vibrating. The sounds are unbelievable. Feeder bands off the Atlantic are powering the storm and going right through here. Think turbulence on a rough flight, but sitting on your couch. Perhaps in about two hours the worse of the wind will be over. Luckily my house is on stilts because my neighbor texted and said his pool is in his living room. This is a nightmare.

expecting wind in the mid 30 mph range today with higher gust. also 3-5 inches of rain. i lowered my pond about 6". having the extra pipe with the valve on the dry side of the dam is so helpful.
not a piece of bread on the shelves for miles around here. everything is closed. we are in the direct path of if, but it should be slowing down before it gets here. we will see.

Wow, what a night. Just kept coming and coming...dozens of tornado warnings. Lost roof tiles, patio lost its screens, downed trees everywhere, no power, but I am grateful. The pond extends under my house pilings and I saw a few tilapia swimming under the house !!!

A good friend of my Sister lives north of Tampa and she never lost power at her place. No damage at all. She was in a mandatory evacuation zone too. She was very lucky.

It has been about three crazy weeks, on top of lots of other things, including becoming great grandparents two weeks ago.
We had a Grymala cousin's family reunion, where 11 of the 13 of us made it to my cousin's farm in Northern WI.
After we returned home from the reunion, cousin Patrick, who lives in Houston got a little rain and wind. He is like a lucky Polish/Native American leprechaun. He somehow stayed high and dry, yet everything within blocks around him was flooded. During the whole episode, he only lost power for about an hour, and he slept through it.
His sister, my Cousin Suzi, has worked for a large resort in the Keys for about the last 35 years. She wasn't quite as lucky. She was supposed to stay in place, but was then told to evacuate mid-last week. It took a lot of Face Book coordinating to find gasoline and a hotel for her. She ended up in Orlando. She got back as far as Homestead early this morning.
We have many friends who retired to the Florida gulf side, especially south of the Tampa/St. Pete area, and up to the Orlando area. No power as of this evening for anybody, but they are doing OK. Lots of friends in the Jacksonville and Charleston, SC area too. Also, no power as of this evening All have made it alive so far.
Our beach home in SE North Carolina escaped this one.
What a tragic mess.

Goofing off is a slang term for engaging in recreation or an idle pastime while obligations of work or society are neglected........... Wikipedia
