    Flood, Environmental Impact on radix Population

    I have great concerns for my wild radix population.
    There was a massive night crawler kill in all the yards effected by the most recent rain. Thousands of worms were killed in my yard alone.
    I hope there will be a quick recovery and my wild population won't be too severely hurt by this bad weather.
    At this time of the year there are many newborns in the area.
    I hope they were able to seek shelter during this time.

    I hope they were smart enough to go to higher ground as well. Fingers crossed.

    How often does your area flood like this.

    I have family down stream in KC MO and each year the Mighty Mo tests the banks.

    Re: Flood, Environmental Impact on radix Population

    The kids spotted a radix in the backyard yesterday. Good news.
    This morning I started gathering up the firewood that had floated all over the backyard and discovered healthy night crawlers under a few.
    Those few were up on the ground that didn't flood but in any event it was nice seeing them.
