Overflow

Our pond is up a few inches in today's rain. In fact, when it was pouring this morning (some areas of the metro received 2-5"+ of rain), the pond was overflowing into the yard. The fish were 'swimming' in the mulch. I watched to make sure none ended up on the grass, but they stayed put. Tonight's storm added more rain, but thankfully didn't overflow it again. I do have a built-in overflow behind the pump, but when it is flooded so quickly, it just can't keep up with the rain and the water has no place to go but over!!!
