What they say

Hide

it would do so right here's the pond and we're overflowing right here it's running down the hill and our pond water level is just right at the edge of where it should be unbelievable we've had a ton of rain come through here and this thing is up at least 2 and 1 half maybe 3 ft we're going to go over to the pipe and let's check that out serious serious problem here guys this is where it's running over and the problem is that this amount of water can wash away my dam okay this is a huge amount of water coming out of this Pond right here and there's really nothing I can do about it it doesn't appear to be anything on the pipe uh we walk across here so down here is the stand pipe and the stand pipe is just gushing water this this just can't keep up it's just too much water coming down through here guys so I I don't know what to do whether just watch it and see what happens and you know I I need you guys to really think about me in the next day or so here hopefully this Pond won't uh wash away it be a real bummer got some more footage right here just how much water is coming through unbelievable amount of water here I'm standing and it it's probably 4 in deep coming across the dam crazy crazy when I first saw this I thought for sure something was stuck on my pipe out here I've actually got two pipes I've got one pipe which is the old pipe built back in 1961 when the pond was built and I have a new pipe put in that's down here I just showed you that in the video and it's just gushing water the pond just can't keep up guys there's just so much water funneling into this thing thing guys I just really need your thoughts and prayers that this doesn't wash away our pond dam and and make a lot of work for us and wash our fish out of the pond because we've got some huge bass in here it's just a great place to be a good place to spend time and a great place to irrigate our farm too this is a bummer this is a tragedy so right here I'm standing right here in what is the dam the low spot in the dam happens to be right here where our pipe is and this is a problem okay guys if the lower part in the dam was way over here which we'll walk over there and I'll show you in a second but if the low part of the dam was over there it would slowly Cascade in a in a flat area right here it's just like a gully running through here and it's already washed away at least 3 ft of the soil the good thing is I put rocks down in where the water is running back I guess six or eight months ago…
