Re: [GSAS-Member] Storm Power Outages

["Monica H" <ninita@hotmail.com>]

You are lucky Susan!  I lost about 70% of my fish.  All except 2 of the 
african cichlids and all but 2 angels.  I couldn't get out of the house for 
a while because my neighborhood was blocked by fallen trees, and when I did, 
all the stores by my house were closed.  I tried to keep the tanks warm with 
blankets and making a fire, but on the 2nd day with no heat the tank water 
reached below 58 and they finally started to go.  :(  I hope everyone else's 
tanks did better.
