A change in current: We have quite a severe sloped area overlooking a creek. Roots gave way, perhaps wind helped, but somehow this tree crashed across the neighbors' driveway adjacent to the creek and slope both. It was decided to leave the main log in the creek for habitat ( plus it would be really hard to cut it while in the water.)

The recent heavy rains took a toll depositing rocks, wood debris and such in a torrent against the log, changing the entire flow of the creek. It used to go straight which would be bisecting the log; now the current is diverted and has washed away much of the former creek bed, soil, foliage and gouged out a bit alarmingly near the road bed. Nature is never still.
