    My house suffered extensive damage Friday from the flash flood we had.  7 1/2 inches of rain did us in.  My finished basement went from dry to 7 ft deep in 5 minutes.  Needless to say everything down there is ruined including the tanks, furnace, carpet, drywall, furniture, etc.  The tanks were starting to look good too!
    I wont be able to devote the time needed now so can someone step up & take over for me.  Contact Billy if you are interested.
    Thx

    Thanks for your thoughts, it is worse then you could ever imagine. We just just got the last of the sheetrock out today
    & sprayed everything down with bleach.

    We had the backfill in the back at the old record high. Well you know what they say about rules & records. Once we get the
    retaining wall for the basement wall done the back fill will be brought up another 5 feet & we will be safe.

    Well I thought I would let you guys know what I found out today.
    I call Casey to ask him about getting out to my in-law that live by him.

    He said that he has not been to his house but I doesn't think that he has a reef tank anymore.
    then tonight I drove out there thru a lot of water to get my sister in law back to civilization, and I drove by his house but I could only get about 500 feet from it.

    All of this flooding and the tornado's are just unbelievable.  I cannot imagine what you all are dealing with.  If there is anything I can do, just say it.
