These are some pictures of a storm in January, 2010. As you can see, the waves are pretty powerful and can wash away plants quickly. I try to plant things that have deep roots, and reinforce with rocks and logs to keep the soil in place, but sometimes it isn't enough. After the storm, we shovel the dirt back on the berm and hope for the best. I've tried to channel the streams by reinforcing the sides of my walkways to the seawall, so the water flows down to our patio and out to the side lots, where it dissipates as soon as the tide goes out.
