Yesterday morning we received a call from our Koi store neighbor telling us that the creek next to our Koi yard had overflowed and flooded the yard.  We arrived to find about 2 feet of silt and debris in the yard with all pumps and filters stopped.  Here are some pictures of the damage - if you look carefully you can see the water line marks.

Russell posted a notice on Koi-Bito forum and we received many replies, calls and emails.  Troops began arriving this morning...notorious Koi-Bito / Koi-Unit people with kind hearts:  Reuben (Akinosan); Joe (Keokoi); Mike (Koiczar); Erwin (Erwinsan); Dan Rutledge; Jim (PondJim); and Jackson Chen (jckoi).
