Tulsa Storm now all fish dead?

We had a real banger of storm run through Tulsa last night . . .
heavy rain, dime size hail . . .
All my fish are dead.
They were fine yesterday before it hit . . .

Anyone have any ideas?

Pond is 3' across by 2.5' deep?????

Low KH and acid rain?? What was your pH before the rain?

Strong possibility. Might also be a close lightning strike.

Or runoff from your lawn.
Did you have any fertilizer or pesticides or
herbicides on it?
Or rapid change in the temperature of the water or just the vibration of all
the hail coming down in the water and yard surrounding (same phenomena as
pounding the ice with a hammer will do).

Kenny,
I'm in Tulsa too. Fortunately, I didn't lose any fish last night.
What kind of fish? I know someone who is a little overpopulated with
goldfish...I could ask them if they want to give a few away (they gave me
mine).
So sorry for your loss.

Sure they are not just knocked out?

No, sorry for your loss. Did the pH drop way down? Would they have
stuck their little heads up and gotten boinked on the head?

I don't know. I could not find any specific information about this
phenomenon. There are several documented instances of dead fish in
hatcheries following an electrical thunderstorm. There's no proof the
fish were struck by lightning, and there's no other explanation.
Snails are effected in the same manner.
