9/24/2015 9:00 AM 0.88 M M M M Massive downpour after sunset. Upper check dam in arroyo blown out It was made of two courses of cinderblock stacked up without any reinforcement with a partial thricourse to direct the overflow over a pile of rocks. The second check dam was a left over piece of propanel metal roofing laid horizontally and stood up with 1/2" rebar spikes and it held fairly well but has a small blowout on one side. But it still held quite a bit of water. The main catchment pond by the house held by the grace of YHWH! It overtopped in a few places but did not blow out! The arroyo at the southern property line has some pretty serious erosion.
