I went down and inspected my creek bed and I've got major washout at one end of the property, lost about 3 feet of soil 6' high with about 100 sq yards of rocks wash over onto to my field. The other end I have a tree that appears to have washed down from upstream that got hung up sideways which caught a bunch of rocks and created a 4' high dam completely blocking the creek bed, again causing flooding and a debris field. I'm gonna have to get in there with a skid loader and a couple days of serious cleaning out. luckily I'll be able to use the rock to rebuild the washout. 6 yrs ago I had poured a crust of cement on the embankment to stop the washout... its all gone and some. If I don't stop the washout upstream, it will eventually washout all my big trees as its washing the dirt beyond the tree line. I figure its going to cost me about a grand to repair everything as it stands. I'm not sure how much more damage I'll sustain with the add rain we're supposed to get...
