With all of the worry about pet evacuations, how in the world do you evacuate koi from your garden pond? You basically don't.
When floodwaters from the Merrimack River in Nashua, N.H., swamped one's family pond, they figured the seven of the 11 that had washed way were dead. The Associated Press reports that there was enough water from the flooding on a nearby country club where the fish ended up that they survived. David Deane, a city alderman and golf course groundskeeper, found them when he was pumping water off the course. He scooped them into buckets and got them into water. The local newspaper did a story, a neighbor noticed it and left a message for the family.
On Tuesday, fish and family were reunited.
