Junglegeorge,

You miss my point. My fear was wind would knock Bakki shower over but it did withstood 90 mph winds as cat 1 hurricane blew in. Shower weighs around 1200 pounds. Katrina is now a cat 5 hurricane heading for New Orleans at 160 mph with gusts at 190 mph. I would not want to test it at that level!!! God help those people.

King Kong,

Glad to hear you are ok. Doug got a lot of water, I got a river. Did not lose any koi, did have to adapt and overcome.

Glad everyone made it thru OK Sundan. That sure suprised a bunch of people including the forcasters. The Bakki held up in that kind of wind is fantastic. Send a copy to Momo, they will get a kick out it. Probably should tie that aparatus down like a mobile home next time.

Scott Purden has his koi farm just above New Oleans up near Baton Rouge, looks like he's in for a rough ride.
