Hey folks. I just made it down to the farm this weekend since our dam broke due to flash flooding rain. And it really fucked things up. There was about 300,000 gallons of water behind it and the 25ish inches of rain (10'' fell in 24 hrs) within a week kind of overtook the dam and once it started flowing over the top it washed it out and it was the end of our dam. Now we have to see about having it rebuilt and doubled in size. Unfortunately our county wasn't declared a disaster area, even though surrounding counties were, and it doesn't look like we will be getting any FEMA money to fix it.

Just so you know the dam is about 15ft tall.

And some of the fish we had stocked in the pond now live in puddles where the road used to be.

Fuuuuuuuuck Sam..... Thats rediculous..... It has been pretty nuts around here huh? I have to talk to my landlord about my house. It looks like we have a massive roof leak.

Good luck buddy, hope you are able to fix things.
