Nowhere near you guys here in central Texas, but we received about 18 inches of rain over three weeks with one tropical rain (no thunder) dumping five inches over about eight hours. I got runoff from adjacent but wild areas. We're now at very nice temperatures, like an early fall for central Texas, BOW top to bottom at 72 down from 80, so I put aeration on 24/7. The fish are eating their feed well. During this spell of wet, I added a shot of bacteria. With the rain and runoff, besides a silted pond, I have had several algae bloom events, explosion of green with sunlight, green turning to brown in the afternoon but all gone by twilight, all of which are like rivulets on the surface currents. I have had a lot more green algae forming on the pond edge. The BOW lately developed a yellow-green surface scum, but it seems to not affect the fish.
