For decades now I've seen dead fish after each adn every major hurricane........always in the wooded area...especially in the Atchafalaya Basin

the water often turns a clear balck. WE always said it was tannic acid.
So what does kill off the fish after a major hurricane blows so much debris in the water?

There were several popcorn trees around the edge and their leaves were also in the pond.
Hey, David - can you send me some cuttings? I can save some money at the supermarket by growing my own.

My own yard is full of them, and they're in full seed. They should start popping any day now, I reckon.
I like 'em, but "invasive" only starts to describe them. Good grief, you never saw a right & proper tree grow and multiply so quickly. Did somebody crossbreed them with Kudzu at some point?
They are handy for creating shade zones in a really big hurry, though. My house is about 10 degrees cooler now from being surrounded by only two year old trees.
Those who don't understand this can look up "Chinese Tallow" which is their actual name, and maybe find a picture which makes "popcorn tree" make perfect sense.

and I'm going to have LOTS of dead trees by Tuesday.
I am just north of Vermillion Bay and Gustav looks like it will venture this way for sure.
Last time........RITA left millions of dead fish all over the Cameron Highway....just millions.......strung out over 50 miles of road bed.

Um, YOU do it. I'll just stand off a ways and watch.
