What I meant was this is the worst drought in the history of my pond. We had a worse drought here in MN back in about 1988 but I had no pond. And no, I wasn't around in 1939. The next concern I have is the same as NewWater. Even though we've finally got some rain and the whether is cooling if we don't get at least a foot more rain by winter I'll probably lose all my fish under the ice. But let's just deal with one potential disaster at a time. Worse off are the farmers around here. About 1/3 of MN has been so dry that they are losing everything. Some for the second year in a row. I hope all you folks who need it get the rain.
