Retaining Ponds in a hurricane !
 
I've seen a lot about the building construction after 2000 but I haven't seen anything about retaining pond standards. So to help alleviate any concerns in this area I've provided a little known "fact".

Retaining ponds are also stocked with alligators. God provided them with very large mouths that give them the ability to drink large amounts of water, like camels, to keep the ponds at a safe level.

I would hypothesize that any water that goes in one end comes out the other for a net change of near zero.

Gators move from pond to pond. If you have ducks you do not have a gator. Even Wally in brown wood moved out in April for awhile
