I haven't been on MFK very much in the past week and I won't be on a whole lot in the weeks to come. Hurricane Florence did a number on the people down south. Tho we didnt get the full brunt of the storm we did get some minor flooding. It wouldnt have been that big of a problem except my neighbor is an elderly man who was hoarding ALOT of hazardous chemicals in moslty open containers... All my pond fish are gone. The ponds and equipment are a loss. My yard and 8 of my neighbor's yards are so contaminated that we have to get a hazmat professional in to fix it. Because my garage (fish room) flooded also, I have to have the floor, lower walls, and my aquarium stands decontaminated too. ...it's an exhausting, expensive, and tragic mess.
The fish indoors were not exposed to the chemical soup. I sealed off all shared plumbing before the storm made landfall. Right now, several of my friends have been helping me break down tanks and are fostering fish for me until I can get my fish room cleaned and set up again.
Myself and 4 other neighbors are speaking to an attorney this friday about what kind of legal recourse we may have.. God I'm tired.
I didn't want to vent or rant (Jexnell let me do that privately. Thank you Jexnell btw.) I just wanted to let y'all know what happened.
